Pointing out relevant section of prior art

I need to submit a person's blog entry on a topic in an IDS. The reason for this is that a reader of that blog commented on an idea that is relevant to some dependent claims of the invention at-hand.
The blog entry itself is about 3 pages long and then there are 10 pages of comments - the relevant comment buried in there.
Do you think I should explicitly point out that one comment?
At first I thought I should but then I thought someone may later say that another comment or other portion of the document should have been pointed out as well.
And just to put more context to this IDS - this will be the only document in the IDS and probably will be the only IDS for this application. So it is not like I am burying the Examiner with a ton of documents.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts on this situation.

Maybe it is possible that the content of the blog is copyrighted.
What about this?
on the IDS form:

I like your idea of just making the comment as the prior art citation.
What does the blog being potentially copyrighted have anything to do with this, though?
I IDS copyrighted material all the time.
