Make the link to comments section for each article more prominent.<p>The hyperlinked area for comments ('n comments') is too small. I need to point my mouse with more care than what is required for clicking the link to the article in the upper line.<p>The comments section is a very important attraction of HN. So why not extend the hyperlinked area to the entire second line? ie, clicking anywhere in :<p><pre><code> '308 points by savemylife 9 hours ago | 237 comments'
</code></pre>
should take us to the comments page of that article.
I think what would make a bigger difference would be to make the text taller. If I ever mis-click, it's because I accidentally clicked on the long title above the comments instead.<p>Your solution also has the side effect of getting rid of the link to the submitter's profile.
