Should IDs be put at the end? (question)

Should IDs be put at the end? (question)


   I would rather see a post with an ID than without.  It helps to know 
if it's a request, pic, talk, etc.  But they are in your face at the 
beginning of the line.

   How about if we put them at the end (except on long subject linss)?  
Maybe in (), or not.  It would be there, but be out of the way.  This 
makes sense if most readers don't always need to look at it.  What do you 
think?
