That's probably a really important insight

We do get crap articles being posted (there is less decent meat on HN)

But we want the comments to be insightful and relevant. Which basically means rewarding those who have domain insight / experience. Which is hard.

FOr example, if there is a thread on web security and cookies, I would like to see tptacek's comments near the top so I can see them

But how to automate that? Its feasible I suspect but not easy.
