Sure. But the thing I was saying might be useful (which, I understand, has nothing to speak of in common with what’s on offer right now) is auto-collapsing all comments I can be presumed to have read or decided not to bother reading on the grounds that they were already there the last time I visited the discussion. That would be useful even on posts with <=50 comments. (At least, it would be useful there if useful at all; it might be that I’m wrong in thinking it would be useful.)
To clarify, only posts with 50+ comments have collapsed comments, so it wouldn’t make sense to expand comments on posts with less than 50 comments)

Ah, yeah that makes sense.
