Is there a feed for comments?

I'm browsing my comments history and just see my comments from 20 days ago.

What happened to my previous comments?

Some of the comments on HN have been degrading slightly over my time on HN. I was wondering if there was a general method of how to create good an insightful comments on HN.

Could our profile include the total numbers of comments and submissions we've ever posted?

And the comments are disabled for my previous submission? wtf?

Why can't I comment on this job posting?

So I have this problem:

I write a lot of comments on the web. But its hard to keep track if someone has replied back to my comments.

So maybe you hackers can come up with a solution?:

Maybe make a firefox toolbar that tracks all of this and alerts you in real-time whenever someone replies back to my comments.

If you post a comment on a recent thread, and there's only a couple other comments on about 1-4 points, then if you want your comment to be on top and get the most discussion and feedback (and maybe karma too), you have an incentive to downvote the competition to raise the relative score of your comment.

That is a bad incentive to have. Anyone have a good idea to fix it?

I wanted to respond to a post today with a reference to a comment I previously made. But I can only see my comments for the last 6 days. How do I look at older comments?

If a thread has been around long enough for comments to earn a few points, when I finally make a comment it's never given a chance because it's placed at the bottom immediately. I'd like to request a change to the comment system that takes newness into account.
