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.
