   Format: MarkdownItexI have added an explanatory paragraph to [[n-poset]] in reply to [this MO question](http://mathoverflow.net/questions/77951/what-are-n-poset/77955#77955). Also, at [[poset]] itself I have added a word ("hence") to indicate that if something is a category with at most one morphism between any ordered pair of objects, then it is already implied that if there are two morphisms back and forth between two objects, then these are equal.

   Format: MarkdownItexI think that you read that "hence" line at [[partial order]] wrong. It's giving the skeletality, not the thinness; it doesn't follow. I added to it what *does* follow, which hopefully will make it more clear.
