I'm sure comment UI is at the bottom of the priority list right now, but I love nitpicking things.

I think there should be a separating line at the bottom of any comment chain.

What it looks like now and what it could look like.

Currently, anytime I see the bottom of a comment it is a bit jarring to not see clear evidence that the comment chain is over. It almost makes me think the CSS is broken whenever I see it.

Also, it would be nice to have alternating light and dark gray header bars for parent and child comments.

      I thought about that too, but with large comment chains it gets cluttered. You can see this on a bunch of reddit threads. Edit: Just saw mine looks a bit inconsistent since only some of the bottom...

      Edit: Just saw mine looks a bit inconsistent since only some of the bottom lines "merge". Not sure what would look best.
