What I'd like (and Robert, iiuc) is for the link to the first message in the flat view not to have the # and to not redirect to the one with the # when it's not there.
Make sense?
Oh, gotcha - I was missing the "/flat/" part which is what triggers it.
The point of the # is that you actually want to point to that specific message in the thread. If you just pick the first message in the thread we could exclude it, but how else would you link to a specific message?
