Remember, Slashdot comments aren't loved because we can read what others have written. They're loved because we can hold conversations. Anything that detracts from being able to hold or follow conversations will make Slashdot less popular.

I'm afraid that ship has already sailed, but this change certainly won't help.

At they rate they should probably just redirect folks to somewhere like Engadget (since that seems like the inspiration) or simply replace the comment system with disqus and call it a day.
