(I didn't downvote the grandparent, and didn't even see it downvoted. Your comment is still on my "to reply" list, so when it doesn't feel like work I might eventually reply (the basic argument is related to "hidden complexity of wishes" and preference is thorough). Also note that I don't receive a notification when you reply to your own comment, I only saw this because I'm subscribed to wedrifid's comments.)
All right, I apologize for jumping to conclusions.
We can subscribe to comments? Is this via RSS? And can we do it in bulk? (I suppose that would mean creating many subscriptions and grouping them in the reader.)
What I would like is to be able to subscribe to a feed of "comments that have been upvoted by people who usually upvote the comments that I like and downvote the comments that I dislike".
Via RSS, I'm subscribed to comments by about 20 people (grouped in a Google Reader folder), which is usually enough to point me to whatever interesting discussions are going on, but doesn't require looking through tons of relatively low-signal comments in the global comments stream. It's a good solution, you won't be able to arrange a similar quality of comment selection automatically.
