Re-Numbering of Posts in Moderated PPRuNe Threads
Question for PPRuNe lords and masters. In a heavily moderated thread - such as the current AF 447 - when a post is deleted by the mods, all subsequent posts are renumbered. So if post 512 is deleted, post 513 now becomes 512....
Is it possible - perhaps even desirable - to maintain the original post numbers, for ease of user reference? So, if post 512 is deleted, then the visible sequence just goes 511, 513...
Although there is a Permanent Link option available, many posters refer to something in a numbered previous post - but that number very often changes within a hour or so of it being posted.

So, within the software, do the Mods have a "reset / don't reset numbering" option when they delete posts? If they do have such an option, is there some particular argument for having it set, as now, as "reset"?
