As I stated in my above comment, I believe that encouraging visitors from one site to come directly to a comment (rather than the entire thread) specifically removes the context.
That is a really good point. Even though before clicking the Reply button they can see that comment and its parents, I agree that it would be a better idea to go to that specific comment in the thread instead of to the reply screen that has no context. I thought there was no way of doing it, but each comment has its own id so I'll just link to the `#ID` so even more context is added when clicking on "reply". Thanks for the tip!
