pg, care to incorporate this in to HN? (maybe as an opt-in option)

  As long as it doesn't lead down the path of auto-buried comments, then I'm all for it. I hated Reddit and Digg for burying unpopular comments, especially when they're the start of a discussion. I remember getting 8 buried comments in a string and the discussion still going, it made the whole thing asinine. Unpopular comments still deserve being readable without extra action otherwise we lose huge swathes of what makes HN great - like insightful and thoroughly thought responses.

  I added it to the feature request page. For people who don't know there's a link at the bottom of the pages labeled "Feature Requests". I''m on a phone but I'll add a direct link when I get to a pc. [Edit: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=363 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=363] The page doesn't seem to be completely dead but I'm not sure how much love/attention it gets.

  I personally don't like this. On reddit for example, I find I have to spend an inordinate amount of time uncollapsing comments and threads to see if there's something interesting to see. Most of the time there isn't, but if it wasn't collapsed I could quickly scan and see that. One of the things I really really like about HN is that comments are not collapsed.
