I kind of like the current comment structure as it facilitates exposure to new voices. I'm worried that if all the people I follow sort at the top of any discussion, there'll be less of an incentive to dig around for new contributors. Especially as the site gets bigger. As it is, there's a nice distribution of friends to strangers- see a few friends' comments, which then spur me toward strangers, who then might get responses from friends...

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
