I’ve never liked the way newspapers sites and blogs list comments under the article. Its inelegant and not very usable.
The Wall Street Journal lists comments on a separate tab, and the product works.
Beside making the comments more accessible and usable (you don’t have to scroll like crazy), it separates the two kinds of content in a way that’s respectful to both — the professionally created article or opinion, and the user generated comments.
