There was a link (I think it was from Wedrifed) that allowed you to sort a particular user’s posts/comments by karma (rather than by time). Does anybody know where that link is?
I’m basically going back over the sequences and top posts of LW again. I’m already aware of curated lists for Yvain and Kaj, but I don’t think there are curated lists for the other top all-time posters. Unfortunately,
A. That tool doesn’t really work well enough.

You mean Wei Dai’s tool? eg http://www.ibiblio.org/weidai/lesswrong_user.php?u=gwern ? Works best with accounts with few comments...

There used to be a ZIP download with all the posts. I just can’t find that link though. An alternative is to mirror the site with wget and grep that.
