Why don't you do this:
Notes> 1718
Notes> EXTRACT NOTE.TXT (or a file name of your choice)
Notes> DELETE
Are you sure you want to delete note 1718? (Y/N) <N> Y
Notes> 1717
Notes> REPLY
Then, from whatever editor you use, include NOTE.TXT, which contains the
text of the note you had written as 1718. Exit from the editor, and
voila! Your note will now be a reply to this one.

P.S. A moderator could do this as well, and then delete this reply and
the previous one...

Note 1718.0 Dangerous Dinky!! No replies
UBOHUB::HOOD_S 35 lines 31-AUG-1988 08:29
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh dear!!!
And who are we to tell them off when it is actually us throwing
the object in the first place who are really at fault!!!
I remember showing off one of my cats, Dinky (rather overweight
and dreadfully greedy but lovely just the same, white cat!) to
some neighbours who popped round to our flat last summer.
We were chatting and trying to wave away all the flies and bugs
who had flown in through the open window when I rashly remarked
that I didn't need fly spray as Dinky would catch them if told
to. Of course, I had to pick the worst place to demonstrate -
the living room window sill where ornaments made of glass and
china galore are a willing target lined up across the top!
"Come on Dinky" I said encouragingly and only realised my
mistake when, leaping up at the offending fly, Dinky's back
legs became entangled in the net curtaining at the window and
she began a slow, uncomfortable descent onto the pile of
ornaments accompanied by the nasty tearing noise of nets!!!!
My annoyance was only outshone by my embarrassment and I
was even more mortified when Dinky presented the remains of
a fat bluebottle on the carpet and sat patiently awaiting
the usual reward of a cat biscuit!!!!!
CATS!! who'd have them.......!!
