Yes, like "insert" functionality. I have seen this done before and =
ussually
the counter is NOT the next consecutive number, i.e. provide a buffer =
for
later insertions, e.g. 100, 200, 300 so that you have a possible 99 =
insert
points for later. Normally, you pre-set the next sequence number, but =
still
allow user to change it if they want to insert rather than append.

On the other hand if you want this to be a chronological record, use
date/time stamps, so that you also store the information of when the =
comment
was made.
