Ask HN: Any way to see a dead thread?

[Raplh]

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=580981 is killed but with 52 comments behind it. Am I just too much of a newbie, or is there actually no way to see a thread declared dead? Can someone email me the original mwengler at gmail.com?

There is showdead flag in your profile which does this.

Just turn on showdead in your profile.
