My dial-up provider doesn't charge me to download headers. My newsgroup
provider (supernews) does keep a tally and will charge me over a certain
large limit. Searching groups for specific articles is not my forte
either. Twelve years on Usenet and I don't know how to do it, but in my
defense, I've never tried a Usenet article search. I see people provide
references all the time.
A quick reference to Google with my particular search string didn't give
anything obvious either.
So, folks, cough up the missing obvious. I want an article posted
possibly last year from some random poster, but I forget the subject. I
vaguely remember the gist of the thread. How do I easily get that :-)
