What's great about HN as a resource is the discussions that pour out of a submission. It would be great if a similar community were able to develop on CP, but currently I don't see the ability to comment on links.
Thank you for the feedback. Yes, comments are coming! :)
RSS would be nice as well.
Trawling through older or less popular links is better without having to click on paging links. One of the things I like about HN is having easy access to both the link and the comments link via the feed.
