I pick and choose. I read maybe 10% of what's on here.

I hope HN never goes there.

Maybe it's just me ?

It's ok, there is place for all of us on HN. As long as comments are not mostly filled by either behavior, we can all enjoy the benefit of the intelligent and knowledgeable HN community.

I don't think there's a limit (at least not at this point), just that at a certain depth there's a delay before the reply link appears.

Alternative answer: maybe they should carry heavily nested comments on to another page, like they do on- ah, never mind.

But hey, go ahead and try to turn HN into Reddit if you guys feel that's where it needs to go.

I feel we've already seen how useful a Reddit is to the world.

Either this thread (every time it comes up) needs to be curbed or the FAQ needs to be edited

No matter how simple you try and keep a point, there will still always be someone who misses it.

I used to think this was just an extension of the "trying to idiotproof/universe builds a better idiot" law, but at this point it could probably be a law of its own.

No.

Now, you or someone else could had explained why it was relevant or... oh wonder! point to it, so we can learn on our own. Or even enlighten us with the reason why some half assed misterious joke is mixed with what appears to be a denounce on slave labour.

But don't worry, I absolutely love these flippant conversations if I'm allowed to bring my own non-sequiturs to the table. I just can't think of any right now :)
