#2I start at the top comment and read replies until it gets boring.
From there, I read top-level comments and collapse the ones that look dull.
But I never get very far into it.
I also religious check my replies and try to reply when people have something interesting to say.

#5It may be 1000 comments, but including answers to comments, and answers to answers to comments and so on. Since it’s possible to fold "sub threads" of answers in which I am not interested, it becomes pretty manageable.

#6Just don’t.
No thread with 1000 comments will have anything original or anything of value. Inevitably it is just partisans throwing the same talking points at each other back-and-forth until one party gets tired and the other declares victory.

#7Usually, if topic is interesting, I will save it and read all of it on weekend. Otherwise, I will try to read around 2-3 first comments with its subs.
