What's your "TL;DR Threshold" for FriendFeed comments? If you see the dreaded little italicized "124 more comments" message, how many of them will you actually read before you comment yourself?

I'll admit I tend to read the first 10-20 and the last 10-20, but those 100 in the middle...oy.

at that point, I generally won't comment at all. after 50+ comments there is rarely anything that I can add that hasn't been said already.

In general, threads like that are political enough that I wouldn't want to get involved anyway. *Usually* I prefer to read all of them before making a comment, which is why I don't jump into too many threads that long.

If it's something I'm interested in or care about, I'll read/skim most of it. Otherwise tl;dr

It's tough being a latecomer to a thread like that, however interesting it may be.

I don't think the comment count itself has ever dissuaded me from expanding comments, but the content of the first few comments will sometimes stop me from reading further.

*This comment has a high probability of being read in this thread even if the relative substance approaches zero*

The more comments there are on a post I find interesting, the more likely I am to expand them.
