As a social experiment, it certainly has a sufficient sample: Randy Thomas’s ‘Longest Comment Thread Ever’ crossed the 1,000 mark last week, as yours truly entered the 1,000th comment. I blogged about this thread earlier, and, separately, why we rally around certain blogs for the commenting.
   It shows that people are willing to engage in conversation, free from the constraints of topic. There have been a few larger gaps in time now, as people surf to Randy’s newer posts, but it remains a fascinating Web 2·0 experiment (now on its second page), especially as it draws new people in to the fold.
