A New Posts search has a "Replies" column, so you can tell which are heavily commented and simply avoid them.

I'm not saying we should ban long discussions, but it would be nice if there was a way to optionally filter them out of the New Posts page.

An option to sort the New Posts list on a field like Replies might be nice. I don't know offhand if it's possible.
Meanwhile, instead of using New Posts, use the Advanced Search form. You can specify a number of criteria, including forums, posting date range and number of replies.
