Honest question here, why detach it from the post it was responding to? It's makes it a totally out of context post unless you've read the post it was originally linked with. I mean, if you want to flag the response as off-topic, fine, but why detach it as well?
- dang 11y agoWe do that because off-topic tangents lower the quality of the subthread they're embedded in. Providing a link to the original parent gives everyone access to the original context if they want it.
