Please collapse HN comments

Can you please add an option to collapse comments. I find comments very interesting and there are so many responses to each comment that it's difficult to find the second most voted comment

On one hand, yes please.

On the other, the experience is way better lately.

Do you remember the "expired link"?

The road to Discourse is paved with well intended incremental improvements.
The reply system of Discourse always confuses me. When I open replies to a comment, why do I need to see these replies a second time when I scroll further down? It's like they combined the worst parts of linear and tree-based comments.
That's the joke. Only time I have used it is on daily WTF and most WTF discussions include some meta about how annoying Discourse is. I find it a little annoying and prefer old fashioned forums, and I particularly like HN!
Is there any evidence that Hacker News is even trying to improve?

i.e. - How long can an organization avoid improving itself on the basis of reducing overall risk?
