1. It creates an artificial "fold" that hides comment threads on heavily discussed submissions
2. Even for users that choose to go below the fold, it breaks the flow of reading through the threads
3. Most importantly, sometimes I am without any connectivity [several days a week]. When I can anticipate such periods, I get to HN and open up a pair of tabs for each submission - the article and the HN discussion page - that I can then read through at leisure while offline. The "more" behaviour breaks this workflow :(
Is the only way to manage load on HN's servers by reducing readership of it as well?
