Hacker News Reader

No idea if you know this or not, but I use the thread collapse button judiciously to skip these long sidethreads (after reading the first few subcomments...)

Side note: I used to think I was down voting when I was collapsing the thread and I felt REALLY bad for doing it.

Note to Newbs: you can't dont vote until you hit 500 "points", and then an upside down arrow appears underneath the "up vote" arrow.

Thank you, I had the same idea about collapsing threads. This is really helpful!

Yeah, and normally I don't bother commenting, I just downvote and move on, but given that the comments section was already (in my mind) a disaster and the irony of the parent post I made an exception.
