I was using symlinks. I try to avoid hardlinks that cross directories --- not sure why, probably because I can't easily manage them to find out what something is linked to without playing with inodes. You are right that if I used hard-links I put things in a separate directory, and the hard links would still contain the email, though if the email has been removed, should we still be returning it from a query? I suppose I could delete items with only one link. Well, if I move the permanent links to another directory, as you suggest, I am going to invalidate every link. Maybe we should wait for this commit fest to end and then I can create a permanent link directory and use hard links. Or is everyone OK with invalidating all the permanent links now. > > > after the name of the poster, so that it would be visible on the index > > > page and the user didn't have to open the page to get it. > > > > We can do that if people want.

Are you talking about the permalink in the js-kit comment or the permalink at the top of each message? What text do you want to be the permalink?
