Hacker News Reader

How about just having a finite amount of time in which to read the news?

I'd prefer to focus on attention on filtered comments rather than waste time skimming hundreds of comments.

Focus on "filtered" comments is a completely different discussion, and offering users an unnumbered slider to set personal threshold for where the grey vs black text divider falls on a percentile line between top and bottom scored remarks of the given thread, would accomplish 90% of what the TL;DR crowd want w/o all the problems of showing scores.

It's not really a different discussions if you viewed scored comments as filtered comments.
