I thought we were just blacklining the topics and comments, but leaving in 
the message number. That's what I've been doing.

Yes, we could, but I still think that from the POV of newbies, particularly 
the technically challenged (she says, with feeling),  it is much more 
user-friendly to have a glossary in the same document that they're reading. 
Speaking as a Luddite to whom it never occured that she could minimise the 
topic terms glossary to have on hand at all times until it was pointed out to 
her.
