Should we restrict depth? Perhaps, it's better to limit the number of
levels expanded at one time (when the user presses "expand" button).
LiveJournal is very uncomfortable in this case: after you click "expand" it
expands all inner conversations at every level.

My main complaint is that I'm not sure if

to go; we know we end up with reallly deep
conversation threads on these
things, and it gets hard to read a few levels in. Pre-collapsing
already-read parts of the thread should help a lot in common circumstances,
but if you expand it you don't want it esploding.
I've been thinking a lot about this and wrote up several ideas
here, including my corollary to Godwin's Law:

Currently, I'm not restricting depth but I think we should after 4
levels.
