I ask everyone, on behalf of the internet, to not implement this. Digg is extraordinarily painful to use if you actually like to read the entire comment tree.

I ask everyone, on behalf of the internet, to not implement this. Digg is extraordinarily painful to use if you actually like to read the entire comment tree. You either have to set it to show all (which, of course, means you have to wait while all the AJAX calls take place, rather than it sending down a page with the comments inline) or you have to click each comment and wait. I don't know who thought this was a good idea from a usability standpoint, but they're dead wrong.
