A Conversation for Phenomena That Need Names

Catwoman has suggest 'Post-21' to refer to any post made to any thread after reading only the first 20 posts.
It happens in almost every long-lived thread. Not just by newbies, even old hands make the mistake. And of course it isn't until you've posted that you realise there are dozens, hundreds even thousands of posts beyond #20. Then you realise your 'Post-21' is totally out of sync, out of date and tells the world you only read the first 20. 
The plural of 'Post-21' would be 'Posts-21'. Or 'Post-42' if it is doubleposted or in the unlikely but possible situation where two of them are simulposted. It 'could' happen.
