Depending on how deep you want to go ... but here is a 1-thread example to do with 1 query

SELECT * FROM `comment` a LEFT JOIN `comment` b ON a.comment_id = b.comment_id WHERE a.comment_parent = 0

then use php to select wether the parent comment changes and display that.

but it would likely be better to do this over multiple queries for speed. you would need to do some benchmarks to be sure

Select comment_content from table where comment_parent != 0;

Then use PHP to display the results however you want.
