6. Provide Context!	If the comment you're linking to requires some context, just add "?context=3" to the URL. For a detailed explanation on why this is important, please see this thread.

[todayilearned]In a discussion about dolphin shows, /u/zooolady explains that "you can't make a dolphin do a damn thing if it doesn't want to. Everything we did with our dolphins was totally voluntary. Sometimes they didn't (volunteer), and if they didn't that was fine." (np.reddit.com)
