Make the display of points optional. I find them useful in finding comments to look at on long discussions. I use upvotes to signal interesting comments, but I rarely do it on comments that have large upvotes. Now I am inclined not to upvote. I guess to remain consistent, I should upvote comments only at the end of the discussion. I find that I miss the points on other sites, why couldnt they have a way to uplift comments so I could see through the cruft. pg, while you are at it, could you fix the size and spacing of the up/down arrows. I never downvote. When I accidentally hit downvote, I have doubalely penalized the commenter, once for the downvote and once again for the upvote I intended to give.
