How do you link a specific comment from a thread into another post/comment?

MetaTalk is jumping like a fat* chick** in a Richard Simmons video.

This has been asked before, if I recall (in the past few days). You click on the time at the bottom of the post, and it'll give you the url you want to use for the specific comment.

*or weight-challenged.

**or guy, or gender challenged.

I'm married to a fat chick, and let me just say that based on my experience they rarely jump, Simmons-inspired or not.

However, when they do it is a thing of beauty.

just the cool kids, quonsar. and since no one has really answered the question completely yet, take god complex's url and make a link like this one, to a funny comment by crunchland.

<a href="http://metatalk.metafilter.com/mefi/2622#49789">link</a>

If you were only asking how to get the url just ignore me.

For really non-techy folks, you can always take the long manual route:
Go to the personal profile of the person whose comment you are linking to (by clicking on the person's username);
Find this comment listed in his profile;
click on said comment;
Then copy the URL.

But it's much quicker to use the time method.

it's just as lo-tech. er.

Yeah, sorry--bad facetiousness (facetion?) that didn't come off, like a Family Circus cartoon where Jeffey takes the long way through the neighborhood.
