It might be worth a poll to find out whether people think posts "deserve" a certain number (or number in a small range) of comments.

I'm not sure that sort of voting makes sense, but I do a little of it myself. I'm guessing that "justice" based voting stabilizes the value of karma, and otherwise it would take increasingly high numbers of votes to indicate that a post is unusually good.
