This policy is odd.

The link could die, the text at the link could change, or the comment at the link could be deleted. Not to mention a comment section full of links is ugly and unreadable.

StackOverflow has the exact opposite approach because they don’t want their site riddled with dead links.

How many people will care enough to send an email to have a comment merger? That really isn’t a solution to whatever “problem” this is.
