A comment on Bill Gates: AMA on Reddit. Parent comment

It's a consequence of the way comments on reddit are structured. The best top-level comment is displayed first, followed immediately by its (lower-quality) child comments, rather than the next-best top-level comment. One learns to simply read the top-level comment, read the response, then minimize it and move on.

Reddit is a large community, and the average post quality reflects that.

On such an important AMA, a mod should be able to cut off some of the child comments (just hide them under the [-] button), especially on the top answer. It would be like a haircut on a tree of comments, but it would look better than ruffled.
