Nice. That was a fun rabbit-hole. This is the earlier I could find. Interestingly it contains a link to HN itself. I assume this migrated from a different version of a message board?

There are some funny ones in there:

> Finally mobile Flash video

> Google acquires advertising startup

> Track users' mouse movements on your webpages

> YouTube: identifying copyrighted material can't be an automated process. Startup disagrees.

Also kind of interesting how little HN commenting styles have changed. Aside from the subject matter, it's barely noticeable that the comments are from 2007. I don't think the same would be true of many other places round the web.
