It was displayed as if it was a reply to mine - in place of the deleted comment there was just "[flagged]", but no date or anything, so it looked like a tag added to mine. This isn't most readable UI...

Thanks for the showdead tip.

It would be interesting to know what are his favorite books of the last 20 years

Which is a very polite way of pointing out how out of date it is ;-)
