Dejanews isn't the only Usenet archive out there.
A friend of mine sent me a reference to
http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/NET.flame/
which had an archive of a flame I wrote back in 1982 :-)
Basically, anything you've posted is still out there
(unless Murphy's trying to keep you from finding it when you want it.)
Unless you're maintaining multiple personnas like Mr. Lizard does,
stuff will get correlated. Get used to it...
Thanks!
