No hunting for a post is necessary with a permalink. You click the link and it brings you directly to the post the person referenced, no matter what page it's on.

I was wondering if its not too much work to have a post# label for every post on a thread? So If I want to footnote, I would say, see what Todd said on page 4

people to find a certain interesting, educational or amusing post.
