 Hi Strider72,

 Thanks for your detailed explanations.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 I use the post/page IDs to easily track which page I am updating.
 Disabling Post Revision is NOT applicable here.
 You are using the IDs for something they aren't meant for. That isn't a
 bug, even if it inconveniences you.

 Beyond that, disabling post revisions *does* apply, because it restores
 the behavior you want -- one post/page == one ID number. The reason the ID
 numbers are jumping on you is that each revision gets a new ID number.

 I agree with you to an extent -- I'm not a fan of how the revision system
 affects IDs. But disabling revisions does fix that.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 As you guys suggested, I've installed the Revision Control plug in in WP
 2.8.2 and it is Deactivated, the post and page numbers continue to skip
 ONE number whenever there is a new post or page is created.  Please note
 that I have enabled the "Reveal IDs for WP Admin" plug in, which I need.
 Any idea what I am missing? Thanks.
