I think so - it's staggeringly useful to direct me to the most recent
content that's not a whole new article. Particularly if it's a comment
to a really, really old article (like the one I posted on Wolf's SE
spider article from waaay back in 99 or so)

I can't see a downside, although as the chief benefit is for people with
the priv to make comments (ie registered members), that's where
I'd go first off.

Cheers
