If it's oh so important, don't leave it buried at the bottom a thread of context.

It may surprise you to note that I linked to the comment from a very visible place in the discussion.

Exhuming it and putting it on display doesn't solve the problem of context. People who clicked through (I speak from experience) didn't see how it did what the link said it did. It was plausible that if I reread the thread it would mean something, but my vague memory of the thread was that it went off in a boring direction.

My questions were not intended for you to answer here, yet further removed from the context where one might care about their answers. If you write something self-contained that explains why I should care about it, I'll read it.
