I like the points on comments and miss them (not that I just miss change). Often I don't have time to read a whole discussion but just want to get the gist of what people are saying about an article, scanning for the highest scoring comments (while not perfect) helps me quickly decide if I want to read more of the discussion.
Excellent reasoning. I really love the way you fit your whole argument in a single sentence.
A lesser contributor would have made a list of reasons why people seem to want the points hidden, then picked those reasons apart with well thought out arguments.
Then the argument would likely move on to the benefits of showing points. Tediously explaining how much access to comment point totals provides the community.
But you, no, none of that for you. You've summed up the entire context in a single, incredibly efficient sentence.
Awesome! Nice Comment. I wish I could produce as pithy prose as you :-)
Actually, I wasn't sure how long the title could be, so I made my main point in the first comment.
Sorry if you wanted a mega-meta-discussion. I'm just simple that way. I happen to like the points on comments, find they make my browsing more efficient and enjoyable, and hope they return.

Truly, a master stroke.
