    ps: Just wondering - how long before the id clash would happen. If the thread will prove being popular we will need a transactional mechanism here.

    I see two very simple solutions:

    *Serialized mode. All ideas should be sent by email to topic starter and he/she will post it here.

    *We need to elect someone to be peform DPC (distributed posting coordinator) job - editing messages of other members to keep the id sequence nice and growing. Personally vote for exterminator.

    The simplest solution is people edit their post if the sequence is broken.

    Actually so did 50% of the Pilots


    btw: This is NOT a necessary fact. There are some people who (lose or volunarily give up) their right to practice Medicine/Law/etc. Since it is unknown where in the class this sample graduated, the effects of post graduation events make the exact percentages unknown.
