What would be really useful is a way to mark an article as watched and have any new comments on it sent by email. Seeing all unread comments is just too much noise for me.

if you are reading while logged in, you should see that when you revisit an article, new posts show up with an orange border while old posts show up with a grey border.

For me there is no visual difference between old and new comments. In "LWN account customization" there is a setting "Old (seen) comment background color" but this doesn't work, neither in konqueror nor in iceweasel.
Greasemonkeys fancyLWNComments is the first working method to tell read and unread apart.

Yep, and that's handy. But I'd like a better way to follow comments than bookmarking individual articles and scanning through the whole list periodically.
