Most legit posters have better uses for their remaining lifetime minutes of brain activity than to game HN in such a tedious exercise.

Various software mitigations to recover credit for otherwise lost quality posts occur to me, but the coding effort looks substantial.

What are some of the high-quality finds that sank without a trace?
