This is why I voted for points as well. When people put their site up and ask HN for feedback, you can easily see the most critical advice based on the points score. Without it, people have to start posting "I agree that's really important" underneath. Just like I have here. Edit: Perhaps a hybrid option would be to just enable points for Ask HN's where people are specifically requesting feedback.

That's not a bad idea. I think it'd be neat if whoever posts anything can choose whether to have comment scores display in the discussion thread, at least until/unless the community decides that one way is definitely better than the other (since opinions seem about equally divided right now).
