HN needs collapsable threads. I toyed with a greasemonkey script that would do this but the somewhat "super pragmatic" layout makes it less than simple.

(I've only tested the Chrome extension, but it's based on the bookmarklet so that one should work to.)

Ahaaa, bookmarklet works great. Thanks!

just looked at the source. man that really is bad. I dunno why you would use tables when divs are actually the right paradigm for a layout like this.

I once saw pg comment that it was the simplest solution that worked. Granted, pg's primary role is not as a web developer, hence his simplest solution is not what mine would be.
