(question) OK, how about IDs like this?
Originally, I asked, since most people prefer having an ID on a
subject line, why not put them at the end to get them out of our
collective face?
Well, on the groups, and in email, not one person liked the idea. On
some systems the end would get chopped off even if it wasn't on the
system of the person who posted it.
OK, putting them at the end won't work. So what could be done to keep
them, but also make them less annoying? How about all lower case, in ()?
I did this post that way as an example.
