I would like a new feature. What is this new feature that I would like? Let me tell you about this new feature that I would like. The new feature that I would like is this:

I would like a new feature whereby I can see a list of posts/comments by user [x] cross referenced with a list of posts/comments by user [y]. I would like this new feature for reasons almost purely related to satisfying my own curiosity. I would, however, like this feature nonetheless.

Cross-referenced comments in long threads.

I think it'd be handy---esp. within excessively long threads where many users post several times---to have something like this:

posted by username at 5:00 PM PST on March 13 [see also: 1,2,3...]

where the "see also: 1,2,3..." points to other posts by the same user within a given thread. Maybe this has been requested before, and maybe it's not worth the coding hassle -- but I think it'd be very useful.
