I was given the number 4 so that I could identify myself in communication between sidebar moderators. Can you imagine a thread with all from's and to's addressed as 'sidebar moderator? Gets pretty messy. I am not privy to any plan to change how we are identified if there is one. So for now, 1=1, 2=2,...etc. in all correspondence. The flaw in this system is in always remembering to plug the number into our replies. It's not automatic.
As you can see in my reply #134
