Now I'm conscious of skewing the data by posting this comment...

I don't think the API is exposed but the aggregate up vote of comments with a post might be interesting. It's one thing to have a lot of comments, but measuring the quality of the discourse would worth knowing.

Unless you take into account an unpredictable bias that will increase the number of comments.
