Could someone please explain for less technologically advanced person (me), how to link to a post (not the thread, just a single post)?
OH! I would like to know this too!
Click on the little number in the top right corner of the post (#1, #2, etc.) and it’ll take you to a page showing only that post. Grab the URL and party. 
EDIT: Ignore me and read the much more specific 'Talos missive below.
There numbers are the right hand side of each post. Click on that and it will open the individual post in a new window. Copy and paste that link.
EDIT: What Chuck said.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
The official way is to use [noparse][post][/noparse] tag. All you need is the post id, which can get found in the URL Chuch and frakkintalos are pointing you to. It’s the number after the ‘p=’. For example, to like to your original post, you look at the URL.
[noparse]http://forum.galacticwatercooler.com/showpost.php?p=[/noparse]
107900
&postcount=1
You type
[noparse][post=107900]Click Me![/post][/noparse]
and you get [post=107900]Click Me![/post] The difference between this approach and theirs is that the post appears in its thread, not on a separate page.

Yeah, thank you kindly~!
PS this is the reason why Chuck is, yet again, The Dude of GWC.
And frakkin’Talos too.
