I’m exploring features for navigating and reading large threads. A “large thread” is a thread with more than 250 replies. I personally can’t easily consume all of that, and quite a number of replies are uninformative in any case (they are simple statements of agreement or dismissal).

Some things I’m trying:

Highlighting replies by the original poster—the assumption is that, if I'm interested in the thread, I'm interested in what the original poster had to add.
Highlighting replies with a larger than average number of replies, in turn—the assumption being, they must have added something meaningful to the thread.
Maybe longer replies are more interesting? Highlight them?

By way of replies to this post, I am definitely interested in others' thoughts on good heuristics.
