multiple comments in a view row

I'm trying to produce a filtered view (using Views 2) of my blog. It works fine, except that when I include comment fields I either get

(a) duplicate rows of a node for each of the comments; or

(b) if I turn on the option to reduce duplicates I only get the first comment for each node. How can I produce a view which will output all of the comments for a node in a single row?

This seems like a pretty basic limitation on views, so I can't imagine that there isn't a way of solving it. But I haven't found anything surfing the forums and tutorials.

As background, my reasons for using a view are

1. to filter the blog display (based on taxonomy terms on the nodes) by adding filtered displays to a view; and
2. to allow ajax toggling in-place between teaser and full versions of a post (using jquery UI and some links added to the view as custom text). The effect I'm going for is something like what is used on drupalmodules.com.

If there's a better way of doing this than using a view with filtered displays I'm open to suggestions too. I'd still like to understand how to solve this limitation in Views, though.

Thanks.
