This is a great idea but I still think the person who did the original post could edit their first post to include the information. That way the people who only read the first post and don't wish to read all the comments, would be able to find the information easily. It's more work for the person posting so easier to include that information at the onset. I can believe that many would not want to presume that others might want their pattern's name and that could be why they don't initially include it. If someone doesn't want to share that information, they could put something such as "an original pattern that I'd rather not share" and then others could respect that too. I like to read the comments but realize that many don't have the time or the interest to do so.

--Scan through the messages to see if she or he has answered the question.
It helps to know the title of the thread in case the person has posted bunches of messages. Then you can look for any messages that she has posted relating to the topic she created.
Is this clear as mud??:):)
