I agree that your approach is best. That said, the comment section is the one place on Hubski where curation is shared rather than individualized. As a result, there is the possibility that in the future the overall comment sort will suffer from a lowest-common-denominator effect. There are a number of approaches that we could take with this, but each brings complications. What I find attractive about this approach, is its simplicity, and its unobtrusiveness. It is likely that we will have to experiment to see what works best. However, I do feel that the site can benefit if the comment sort isn't simply a reflection of the average opinion. But we will see if that is true, and if it can be realized.
