The quality of comments are excellent in HN and Slashdot.

On Slashdot, I find that the comments often immediately debunk the article or point out some glaring flaw in the headline / post. I'm so used to this that I'd rather be let down by someone telling me that the article is bogus up front, than to get pumped up about it reading the article then read the comment that debunks it.

The quality of the best comments at /. are good. The quality of the average or mean, not so much.

Yes. Setting comment Threshold to 4 will fetch best comments from /.
