I do agree with you that it might be useful in certain situations and certain types of posts (particularly ones which were originally centered around discussion). However, I often will see a post that I just have a reaction to that I'd like to share, but my comment is unlikely to be seen on an old post simply because few people are sharing it. I'm not saying it's completely taboo or always a bad idea, but I do think there are some situations where it's just not worth it.

Even just being able to know if there's currently an active discussion going on would be helpful; it's easier to jump into an existing conversation tahn it is to start one.
