Topic Numbering
It is often useful to referenced reference opening and main topics by number. Topics They are numbered sequentially starting at “1” from opening topics through main topics. Closing topics are not numbered sequentially starting at “51”. The reason for the gap in the numbering sequence is so that closing topics don’t need to be renumber when adding main topics, which would be the case if topics were number sequentially through closing topics. Furthermore, it that if they were numbered, then they would have to be renumbered when adding and deleting main topics. It is rarely useful to reference closing topic topics by number.
