See that little triangle thing? I notice the HTML code reads:

HEY Ryan, put your cursor on it (the triangle) and click - see what happens... self explanatory! :-laf



It takes you back to the post the quote was lifted from - the number is most likely the system # of that post...



Sorta prevents guys from modifying quotes - and also brings up the entire original post so readers can see what the context was if parts of the original quote were deleted...
