MM and anyone else posting URLs to AWAD threads:

You don't need anything past the number identifying the post. Thus:

http://wordsmith.org/board/ showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=announcements&Number=72418
works just fine. You can delete all of:
&page=&view=&sb=&vc=1#Post72418

This keeps the post, and, if you are viewing in flat mode,
the thread from getting wider than the page you are viewing
it on.
