An Update on HN Comments
I'd love to able to fold a nested conversation once I think that particular branch is going nowhere. HN should treat the folding as a signal similar to a down vote on that particular sub-thread. I often don't think any particular comment warrants a down vote, so I have no way to tell HN that the thread should be pushed back.<p>Plus everyone has been asking for a way to collapse sub-comments (and many plugins do it already).
