Oh heck yeah, this would make HN WAY more useful to me.

Currently I work around this by forcing myself to wait a while before visiting the comments page, then visiting it just once, because if I come back it is typically too time consuming to scan through and figure out which comments I've read and which are new.

Sounds like a job for a Greasemonkey script

Yes, that's what I was thinking. Has anyone done it before, or am I the only one frustrated when I follow long comments thread ? How do you guys do to avoid readind the comments again when you come back ?

Indeed. Try this one I threw together:
