Here's hoping it's only one event as opposed to a hundred thousand, at the very least. In jQuery, for instance, you'd do something like $(parentOfComments).on

Here's hoping it's only one event as opposed to a hundred thousand, at the very least. In jQuery, for instance, you'd do something like $(parentOfComments).on('eventName', '.commentClass', function() { //dostuff }); The event propagates up to the body or whatever parent element you use.
