Ask HN: How do you quickly read and make comments on HN?

I bookmark some of the top people and scan their stuff at my leisure.

Skimming is a helpful reading skill. But personally I usually tend to wait for a thread to mature enough, it weeds out the noise from the signal.

HN is the one place that I like to read entire comment strings. If I find a comment to be junk, I will generally pass it up immediately.

I usually skim all the comments, spending more time reading ones that are interesting.
