This is less cumbersome than trying to put a link in the comment field to an identical post, especially when there might be *hundreds* of identical posts to choose from.

For example, the last post I reported had a peculiar phrase in it that I had seen before - "mining and swimming pool" - so I did a google site search of that phrase and it turned up 110 posts that were all identical (make that 113 posts as of now... busy little spammers!).
