Sometimes posts get deleted, numbers get shifted... the link will always work.
Just to revisit this, I'm not sure about anyone else, but I'm finding it so hard to keep track of who is saying what to whom. The link just means taking an age to traipse off, find the original comment, come back, find where you were, and continue reading.
Very occasionally posts get deleted, numbers shift, but I would posit that for the vast majority of the time, being able to get a pop-up of the original post being replied to would be utterly awesome.
