I don't see it documented any place how to refer to a specific post. Unless I missed it, perhaps this should be added to the FAQ?
Also, it might be nice if there were a self-referential link in each post that people could right-click on and copy the URL, to make it easier to post a reference to that post. (Maybe make the little document icon to the left of the posting date into a link?)
For the benefit of anyone who doesn't know how to point to a specific post: the way I do it is to get the "postid=" value from one of the links below the post, then create a URL containing that number in 2 places, as follows:
