This is a nice feature, though I'd prefer if collapsing preserved the "root" comment and collapsed the responses, rather than hiding the root comment.
We did consider that, but sometimes one wants to collapse a very long top-level comment.
Why not set a max height for the top-level comment and use overflow CSS?
