If I look at 200 comments pages, doesn’t that require the server processing my request and sending me the comments page 200 times?
As for finding your comments regardless of the thread they are on, that is already a feature of Reddit’s platform—click on your username, then click “comments” to get to the LW implementation of that feature.
Regardless, that isn’t what you were describing earlier. It would not put extra load on the server to have jQuery transform this thread, which has all the comments, to show only your comments on the thread. It’s a client-side task. That’s what you originally said was not feasible.
All this talk has actually made me consider writing an addon that makes slashdot look clean and in-line like LW, Reddit, Ycombinator, etc.
Are you confusing me with Error? What I said was inefficient was writing a scraper to get my karma histogram, on every comment (well, I wrote post) that I’ve ever written.

I do think that’d be a cool tool to have (though I don’t use Slashdot).
