I scan the first 2 pages for any topics I think are interesting, and open them in new tabs. Then I come back to them at least a couple days later (after most people have commented) to read through the comments. This means I usually don't comment myself because it would be days late. I pretty much only comment if I think I have something clever or insightful to say on the topic. I'll usually go through my HN tabs once they start to hit a critical mass and I have some time to kill, beginning with the oldest tab.
