I barely have to look at my email anymore - the only things interesting are in my LJ comments folder. 

It would probably be a horribly daunting task to go back and edit in all comments people have made on my LJ posts to be part of the posts to that they'll archive when I run the archiver.  Hm, three years of LJ?  Killer project.

I have a shell script I run that downloads my journal entries with comments. (It basically just saves the HTML of the page.) If you have a Unix machine somewhere with both "wget" and "lynx" available to run it on, you could probably make it work. Let me know if you're interested in seeing it.

(The only tricky thing is getting authentication working so you can see private/friends-only entries. The way I do it is I have it look at my Firefox browser cookies, so if I'm "permanently" logged in in Firefox when I run the script, everything works. If the machine I was running the script on were different from the machine I ran my web browser on, I'd need to deal with transferring the cookie file by hand.)
