It's fun for me that someone noticed that! The hard part of those lists is finding the threads that don't show up in obvious searches (e.g. exact title matches).

The answer is (1) I wrote software to let me use HN Search and do related HN things rather quickly via keyboard shortcuts; and (2) I spent 10 min tracking down ones that I'd missed last time.

For classics/perennials like the OP, it's a bit of an investment since they will come up for as long as HN exists, and hopefully that will be a long time.

I see :) thanks for the explanation! Was wondering for quite some time how you handle these things.

Is the software you mentioned in 1) open-source? ;D

No but it's on my list to do that one of these years. I'd need to factor out the stuff that makes sense only for admins from the stuff that users could use. Currently all that is tangled together.
