I agree that would actually be a minor feature: people sometimes refer
to comments by number either in hyperlinks or comment text, and these
will break if they change.

If this is confusing we could later show "message #4 deleted".

John, I think messages only get hidden administratively when they are
eg spam or were posted accidentally.  There're no acls within a
message sequence.
