Ha, I see three of those are already gray-visited for me, and clicking them now, I see why!

* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18442941 was a great look at Oracle DB development

* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35079 was one of the most hilarious situations of all time on HN

* https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224 was a fun early Dropbox "No wireless, less space than a Nomad, lame" moment.

I'm gonna have to check out some of these others that I haven't seen before! Great list, thanks!

Re 9224, I feel bad that BrandonM has been singled out that way because the comment has been universally misinterpreted. He was commenting on Dropbox's YC application (that's what "app" meant back then) and trying to be helpful.

Top comments dont work so well as there is no curated titles. The content is good but may not be relevant to the reader

I think a prefix of the comment string is in most cases sufficient to disclose what the comment is about. I tried to include that above, but it got too tricky for silly technical reasons so I bailed.
