Anyone is welcome to restart it. I'm sure he'd give you the raw data files & source code if you asked. (There might already be a copy on github.)

The reworked version doesn't show the original indentation of discussion trees, making it harder to read. All bullet points have been flattened to one level, compared to the the original, which showed many levels.
