" I noticed that the article disappeared from the front page("Dead" ed) and then came back a few minutes later. How does that happen? Just curious." The article was killed because enough people with high enough karma to flag, flagged it and it probably came back to life because pg judged the article to be interesting

@gromm. Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering if the code somehow "self corrects" or it needed explicit human intervention.
