I haven't been to Slashdot in years. I'm not sure I ever had an account there. This format for an AMA style post is much worse than reddit's. I had to click to expand nearly every first level comment reply.
3 comments

This is actually not the usual interview format: usually, people ask questions, the most upvoted get selected, and then there's a new "story" with a block of questions and answers. See, for example, the reply post for the Neal Stephenson interview: http://slashdot.org/story/04/10/20/1518217/neal-stephenson-r...

What happened here is that Woz is a regular /.er, so he preferred to reply directly.

Same situation here. There's no indication if the reply is from OP or not.
I do the same thing with Reddit AMAs, just look at the comment history of the OP. 90% of the time you can infer the question or don't need to know it.
You should use /r/tabled in the future.
You can use the slider at the top of the comments to expand all comments. That's at least a partial solution.
Unfortunately not on touch devices, as far as I have ever been able to tell.
Did you try the new Slashdot mobile app which was also launched today in Beta..? http://slashdot.org/journal/290575/introducing-the-new-slash...
I hadn't noticed that, thanks for the tip.
