My experience with using the comment feature to do an interview recently leads me to believe that "straight comments" is a better option for non-initiate comments. "Threaded w/posting box" gives the guest (or new person with a cookie) a choice, and--for this interviewee, at least--the [add a comment] command at the end of each comment was more tantalizing than the box at the bottom of the page. I wanted to avoid nesting, so that in the final editing process I could move comments by deleting and reposting them, and I didn't want strings of comments to disappear. One suggestion: could more space be added between each "straight" comment? The comment page tends to clump them all together.
