I read this comment because I saw some other moderation duty comments and looked at your history. I don't think you should use the word "thither" for transactional comments. It is correct here, I think, but it's somewhat archaic English.
Maybe "over there" or "to that one"? Your way is not wrong, but many will miss the point.
