So, how exactly does the numbering on entries work?

[conuly]

I know it's not consecutive (entry 10 is not followed by entry 11) but that it does go in some sort of order (entry 10 is always followed by an entry numbered greater than 10, even if that number isn't 11), so.... how does it work, exactly? And why couldn't it just be consecutive?

It used to work like that, years ago, but I think it changed to the per-journal form towards the end of 2002. But you can still use the old URL format for old entries, at least, so you get things like http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?itemid=10000000
