I always thought the amount of times a comment gets read should be factored in to the karma score for the comment. For instance I'm posting this late in this threads life. If 10 people read it, and 7 up vote it, that's a very high percentages of up votes. If I had posted this 10 hours ago when the thread was created, I would have received a lot more up votes even though the comment is the same. Sure, maybe the comment isn't as valuable now because less people will read it. But I think the goal should be to judge a comments value regardless of if the user was lucky enough to find the thread when it was first created. The simplest way to calculate this is to use page views of the thread after the comment was posted, and maybe factor in how high on the page the comment is to estimate how many people have read it.
