Links to the original articles?

Submitted by Izhido on May 2, 2007 - 1:29pm.

Hi!

I'd like to make a suggestion.

It would be really cool to have, for each post, a link pointing to the original /. article where it comes from. It might happen that the comment it's posted would not be fully understood until the context (in this case, the /. article) is read & understood. It should be relatively easy, since this site already mandates that we place a link to the original comment we're posting about.

What do you think about it? Would that be possible?

We thought about this when we first set up the comment fetcher. But we came to the conclusion that it would just clutter the posts since most comments don't need additional context (the title usually says it all) and for those that want to see more they can easily get there through the link to the original comment on Slashdot.

Thanks for the suggestion and let us know if you have any others.
