A less silly rule is to read the parent of the comment you’re replying to so that the comment thread does not turn into a Markov chain of order 1.
(That is, I don’t believe that the hyperlink thing is the reason you were downvoted; most likely it is that CronoDAS had already linked to the same comic.)
Ok, lesson learned—don’t post a comment that requires a link if I’m not able to make the hyperlink because I can’t copy and paste.
That’s a silly rule, but at least it is easy to follow.
