Collapsing threads, for one thing.

It's like, one line of javascript different (the equivalent of if score < threshold: thread.collapse())

I don't care about the code. Collapsing is a significant change in UX.

EXACTLY!

No one seems to get this, not HN, not Quora, Digg (though that doesn't matter any longer...)

Its about increasing the information consumption rate and navigation rate. Collapsing is critical to navigating threads with thousands of comments, even tens of comments!

Any UX designer who does not see this, is, in my book, worthless.
