I think a general list, would be a good idea.(posting so that I can find this in threads) It's funny, more people downvoted this comment, than actually replied to the thread. Shows where your priorities are. Go ahead down vote, I can afford to lose the points.

I saw that there are a lot of people used to post just to take track of discussions, like some form of bookmarking. This is especially a plague on reddit. What about opening a delicious account? It's better both for you and for the community.

  it's because doing it is much easier. This way you can find the threads you participated in with 1 click

    It also causes comment spam and it's clearly not sustainable at scale. If everyone interested in a comment thread posted there just to be able to find it later, I think we'd quickly find ourselves buried in bookmark comments.

      your bitching about comment spam has created more comment spam, than my 1 actual comment. It's a way to track responses. You don't need to do this in other people's threads, because you can go to "threads" link to see who responded to you. So how about less bitching and more contributing?

  What about just bookmarking it? I don't understand how this approach is any better.

You were downvoted because you are intentionally misusing HN. Get a delicious account. I type "g delicious ENT" to bookmark a site with delicious; it couldn't be easier. I will admit that I agree with your "I can afford to lose the points" sentiment. I always read the -4 and +20 comments first, so when I get downmodded to -4 it means that I get more eyeballs than I would at +1. An occasional joke that gets modded to +60 means that I can afford to troll as often as I like. </cynical observation> (Incidentally, you and I have the lowest average post score among the top 30 users. I think I just made a friend :)
