If...
..I had added the qualification that only three comments on the list could come from any single diary,
the following comments would have made the list, with the following ranks.

To make the calculation, I assigned point values for each comment's ratings -- 2 for Excellent, 1 for Good, 0 for Marginal, -2 for Troll, and -3 for Super Troll. Then I added the values and ranked the comments.
"Tip jar" comments were excluded, since well-received diaries are recognized through the Recommended Diaries mechanism.
I excluded "tip jar" comments by excluding all comments people made to their own diaries. This may have excluded other well-rated comments people made to their own diaries. But in such cases, diarists can edit their diaries to include the content of their well-received comments, and hope for recognition in the Recommended Diaries.
Also, I excluded Cheers and Jeers, because that thing is just an insane mojo rave.
Comments also had to have a least 7 ratings to qualify, and be attached to a diary or main page story posted on February 14, Pacific time.
