Maybe I should quit before I get too far behind, but what I'm trying to say (and apparently failing) is that an observed difference between means is more likely to be replicated when the p is .001 than when the p is .1. You can certainly calculate the probability of replicating a result with a given p value, and results with smaller p's are more likely to be replicated (yes, it has been supported by data). I'll dig up a reference when a get a chance.
