this may not even be a good idea. HN has high content comments, not a lot of back-and-forth. I think that's worth preserving.

- polyfractal 15y agoThe problem with HN comments is that you may make a very thoughtful and lengthy reply to someone...and no one ever reads or sees it because stories scroll off the frontpage so quickly. And it isn't easy to check up on old discussions you participated in, so your thoughtful comments are buried. I think it is detrimental to the community and encourages all the wrong kinds of behavior.
