You're very welcome. I woke up early to write it because . . . surely someone would need help?
I have only imported once or twice because I disabled comments on my LJ very shortly after joining DW and, let's be honest, I post, like . . . never.
My understanding, though, is that the importing feature is very good at keeping track of what everything is and not creating duplicates. That each new import brings over only the new stuff. The one exception I have heard of is someone who imported once, then renamed one of her journals, and then ran another import.
You may want to ask elisi, as I believe she runs imports semi-regularly.
ETA: what happens when you import comments from posts that you cross-posted, is that DW shows all comments from both sites on your DW post. It pretty much works exactly the way you'd want it to.
