I've been trying to find a post I made in soc.history.what-if using
usenetarchives.com and having no luck. It was a parody of a _Comics
Journal_ review of a comic strip collection, that I entitled
"Understanding Steve Sterling" and "Understanding Steve Stirling."
One was part of a longer thread. The other was a repost. Early in
the current century.

I believe I posted it in soc.history.what-if. I would have used my
old, defunct <kevrob@my-deja.com> address as the sending e-mail.

Any help would be appreciated.

Google Groups appears to have banned the group.

https://soc.history.what-if.narkive.com/
has posts going back 21 years, but I don’t see
how to do a search on that site.

Re-post of pertinent procedures:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Narkive is a web based usenet archive:

<https://rec.arts.sf.written.narkive.com/>

Use:

site:rec.arts.sf.written.narkive.com

to search it with your favorite engine, like so:

<https://duckduckgo.com/?q=perry+rhodan+site:rec.arts.sf.written.narkive.com>

------------------------------------------------------------------------

A cursory glance indicates this site seems comprehensive, in both
breadth and length, so to speak.

<https://usenetarchives.com/threads.php?id=news.software.nntp&y=0&r=0&p=1>

But you must bring your own search engine, because it offers no search
functionality.

###

Further inspection indicates the 1988 dates on news.software.nntp may be
an outlier. A spot check of a few other groups shows earliest dates in
the mid-1990s. Also, the archive's latest dates tend torwards April
30 2022. And, the quantity of articles archived for each group seems
low.

Thanks, Don. I've tried Narkive, but search terms I've used haven't
generated the particular post.
