OK; in the unlikely event that anyone ever wants to link to any of the old pony that I/we write on this site, I've added the ubiquitous permanent link feature so the links don't break once posts move from the main page into the archive pages (as happened with that excellent Brian Clough article I linked to a while back, which has never resurfaced anywhere, grr...). The links are anchored on the timestamps for posts on the main page and the forum.
