Just an idea - what if the dots in the bottom of a thread would have ALT tags
that would have some info on the message they're pointing to... i.e.:

"Dan Boger - Dot's ALT tag"

That way, if I've already read through all the thread, and want to go back to
a particular one, I'll just move over the dots until I find the one I want :)

What do you guys think?

I think that would be incredibly useful.  Often, a thread changes topic, and
many people change the subject line along with the topic.  If the dots had an
alt="author - subject of message", it would make it much easier to find the
beginning of these subthreads...
