More than that, I don't want to read all the comments. I just want to read the good ones. Without knowing which comments are good, I read the first set and move on to the next story.

Agree completely. I skim the threads in each post now, which is a shame because I'm sure I miss some good points.

To fix this, I would like to see threads bubble up to the top based on total karma score for the thread. Read the top half-dozen threads and you have a pretty good synopsis of both sides of the topic.

I agree, I could easier skim through the comments by first reading the higher-voted ones.
