Oh, in regard to a list of dead or flagged only, that's what I would guess HN staff have access to. I have to push back a great number of pages and do each individually. Some are not worth digging as the reason is pretty obvious. Might seem like complete boredom or madness, but I used to have a keen interest in forum dynamics, spent a bit of time in a flame war discussion forum for a few years, where members might post sightings of certain behaviours etc.
