Steve,

I feel that there is a need of a direct link to the discussion page from each article.

For example: The current display is:

Ideas for SQLServerCentral.com

It can be:

Ideas for SQLServerCentral.com

It would be useful, as we will be reading the article once-twice-thrice... but  most of the time we will be interested in the posts made by readers. This change will directly allow us to go the discussion page.
