I find myself frequently bumping into comments (e.g., http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1178984) indexed in Google and wanting to read the root submission. But I annoyingly have to click through a series of "parent" links to do so.Could we get a "root parent" link there, in addition to the already-existing "parent" link?
EDIT: djg suggests "top" is a better name and it sounds good to me too.
