Hi walnut-tree, thanks for your feedback!

Here are some thoughts on the things you mentioned:

- It's currently not possible to import comments. The largest page I've built "manually", is 200 comments; it'd be interesting to import a 3000 comments page from, say, Reddit, and have a look :-)

- The comparison with search engine results is interesting, I hadn't thought about that.

- Re wide pages: On a 50 comments wide page, I think scrolling works fine, partly because if you scroll large distances, the scrolling software (Utterscroll) automatically scrolls faster.

- Re many single comments without replies. — It looks okay visually I think, but it might be easier to "get lost" among all comments (since the page becomes very wide).

- Re: "when some comments get lots of replies", "does the indentation [become] a problem"? — I think that in such cases, 1) deeply nested comments could be collapsed by default. And 2) popular threads could be made wider.

- Re: "Many blogs sit within a fixed page width". Yes, this might deter some people from using Debiki (the software). — I'm thinking that this discussion system is intended for people who think that [showing the readers' comments] is much more imporant than the right hand sidebar. — And it's probably (?) well suited for discussion sites / forums.

Thanks for "Good luck" :-)
