The idea sounds good, however I am not 100% sure about the implementation. We already do have JavaScript code for collapsing long dependency lists (which we borrowed from archweb). Do we want to use the same code for comments for consistency? It also makes it a bit easier to read long comments since, once you decided that you want to expand it, you no longer need to scroll.
I'm in favour of this approach: right at the moment I'm reading comments to an article (subject doesn't matter) and those are collapsed by default, with a "more" link to show the full contents.
On the other hand, I like that this alternative implementation does not require JavaScript...
I get the point and I don't like heavy JavaScripting on aurweb, but we *can* gracefully degrade the behaviour (by pointing to a page with a collapse comment function). Marcel
