TODO - incorporate this (from Requirements: MVP): Comments should exist, but with low visibility. It should be possible to ping a user (or even better: a few users) from a comment. This will result in a notification. Comments are threaded.

Details: SE has a flat list of comments, and when there are too many the list collapses and the most-upvoted ones show up. (So you see ~5 comments and then something like "37 more comments", which is a link.) That's pretty terrible for us. We want discussions attached to posts to be possible but non-invasive, and we want threading to make those 42 comments navigable. I'm imagining a scheme where, for a post, you can see that there are comments (and how many), that you can click on something to bring up the full view, and that you can dismiss it again when you're done so it doesn't get in your way as you scroll/page through answers. You should always be able to see the post while reading the comments, and it should be ok to leave comments expanded as you read other posts on that page (like other answers) if you want to. We haven't decided on whether comments get votes, but they can be flagged. We haven't discussed this, but please also plan for a moderator being able to do something to make a specific comment more visible -- pin so it shows even in the collapsed view, or highlighting, or something.
