Link to Discussions in articles

After reading one of the articles I sometimes do get the desire to click the discussion link to view the related forum discussions. So great it's there
However, the article itself is a forum post as well (the first in the thread) and the link actually links to the first post in that thread, i.e. the article itself.

As a result, you need to scroll all the way down to respond or actually view the posts already made. I feel it would be more natural to have the discussion links in the article to be directed to the first real user post (or the textbox if no other posts are made yet) instead of the article itself.
