We have two URLs for a comment.
The comment within it's reply chain: https://www.lfgss.com/comments/11886727/
The comment within the context of the wider conversation: https://www.lfgss.com/comments/11886727/incontext/ which will redirect to the right page: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/131364/?offset=5250#11886727
We currently use the latter as early feedback was not positive at all for the former... but the former was the original design. It's reached from the # numbered link on the right of a post... the permalink for a comment with additional context of what it was in reply to - a single parent - and all immediate replies.

David, I don't get 'Reply' buttons on that sort of page--is that deliberate? If I remember correctly, there was a 'Reply' box at the bottom, although I think you couldn't use that to reply to specific posts in the 'post chain'. (I quite like opening up posts I want to reply to in separate tabs to park them until I've decided what to reply to, and it's handy to have the reply function right there. Instead of just the one 'Reply' box, it would be good to have 'Reply' in each of the posts. NB not terribly important, but it saves clicking back to the main thread and then clicking 'Reply'.

So much this.
Now that people have to make an effort to quote something, rather than just hitting one button, I no longer have to scroll through the same three three paragraphs of text and half a dozen photos, just to read "this is rad".
What it doesn't do well though is make the whole conversation easy to follow; what's revealed by clicking the post number isn't a complete chain.
