There aren’t 500 comments to scroll through. I cooked the food, I had the conversation, it was covered in depth right here in this post. I am under no obligation by any stretch of netiquette to link to a thread within the same post. This isn’t the days of Usenet where post IDs were handy because a post might not propagate to all the servers. You have all the context you need to find the replies without me going through the even minimal labor of finding the link and handing it to you. Let’s not encourage entitlement behavior here.

It would cost you nothing to include a link to said comment
