Using a VEF post number is impractical since these could change or be removed. In the case of the MIR especially the old threads, whether solved or not, will be removed eventually. And as pointed out by beutelwolf VEF model thread names are not permanent and are routinely changed by either a thread merger or by a more acceptable name being discovered. So the xnk's serve the same purpose as some ambiguous name by merely being a means of collecting her work under one heading.
