> "...to see if other HN reader have found it interesting" A summary doesn't tell you that though. The comment ceases to be a comment and instead functions as a sort of mechanical interpretation. As technical people concerned with taxonomy, we can't have "summary comments", that's just crazy talk! Not only that, but what of the ethical dilemma of posting a "TL;DR" for something that isn't your own writing? That's self-appointed editorial control when nobody agreed to that. That said, I like summaries, but only when a genuine opinion comes with them. The summary service I see mentioned sounds interesting for sure, definitely a good idea. Although it's not quite clear to me how I would access that.
