You can get them here:
<http://www.netscape.com/member/schestowitz/activity/stories/1>
and there is a link on that page to get them as an RSS feed.

If you read them at Netscape, you can see how many votes they got, which
makes it easier to filter out the ones with the misleading headlines, as
those don't get voted up. Or you can click the "homepage" link to get
just the ones that have been good enough to actually make it to the main
page.
That list is pretty small, though. Netscape.com users are less tolerant
of FUD and blatant blog link spam than people are here.
He doesn't post as many of them on Digg, but a higher percentage of his
get voted up there, so that may be more useful if actually want some of
the blog link spam, FUD, and misleading headlines. Here's the list of
front page submissions of his at Digg:
