Do not refer to the ever-changing post numbers

Referring to post numbers in any fast-paced thread on PPRuNe is quite useless, indeed.

That appears to be the reason for the "permalink" thoughtfully provided by PPRuNe right after the post number. And hardly ever used. Still, that’s what a permanent link is for.

Or else, and even nicer, indeed refer to the user name (forum nickname) of the referenced poster as well as postdate and time. Then we have a fix that will not drift.

Or quote, yes. Give the reader a clue!

Note that here we’re often discussing flight deck ergonomics in a not very reader-friendly way here.
