p.s. BTW I also have decades of software design and implementation under my belt. So you can stop with the man 'splaining.

I've already proposed an alternative solution using hashtags. See the other thread. I think Mark will understand the use case and if he doesn't, he's free to ask me. I've explained it to you in greater detail offlist.

With a clear example of the problem, Mark might have a solution that you haven’t thought of.

Mark has seen many more problems than any of us. He’s been doing this for decades.

I’ve maintained conferencing software and I’m active with Solr open source search. We commonly

see requests with an “X/Y problem”, where people have problem X and are asking about

solution Y without explaining the problem. Often, there is already a solution or even a feature

for problem X, but they are focused on the solution they have chosen.

But you won’t explain, so I don’t see how we can help.

I think I HAVE explained, and I'm not asking for your help. :) I'm asking Mark for a feature.
Have a great rest of your Labor Day. :)
