Some articles don't leave much to comment on. If there some new discovery, I think it's actually better that there aren't 15 comments saying "Cool!" and "Awesome!". I think that the comments that are made are generally high quality, so the signal to noise ratio is still high.

And I really resist the urge to post comments that don't give a perspective, an opinion, or a fact. Often I really want to write a "yeah cool" or "LOL" comment, but I don't. There are plenty of those elsewhere on the net. Sometimes I fail though.. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=106983 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=106983
