top voted comments on the top inflate them so much that later pertinent comments goes to oblivion Unless you sit there refreshing the page, you don't see a comment's progression to oblivion. I don't think that showing something is towards the top only because it's new defeats the purpose. I agree that comments should be posted at the top to give people the chance to read new comments, but seeing how much others agree with a comment, new or old, influences my perception of the comment. Without exact points it's hard to gauge, unless everyone who agreed upvoted and then submitted a "+1" comment!
