I'd really like to know the ratio of upvotes to downvote as one possible metric of positive conversation.

  I’d like to see best comments within a page. I’d like to sort by controversial too. That’s where the action happens.

    Controversial would be interesting-- 20 votes but a neutral karma on a comment would indicate a split opinion about its contents. I always like comments I don't agree with if they also make me really think about something, though I also wouldn't downvote a comment like that.

      Well, I like HN because of the lack of feature creep. So keep the mystery.

        There is joy in the brutal simplicity of this UX.
