Smithers has bragged in the past to have many years of saved newsgroup
postings... it also stands to reason that he had email conversations
with the real Skipper.

Gene,
Who has been bragging about having saved years of NG postings? Anyone who
did that would have to be a fool, when they can use Google to look up
anything they want.


Foolish? After a week or so, how does one google up a posting that had
the X-No-Archive set to "yes?"

And if you're missing one of that creature's posts, you might check with
the official archiver of this NG, Karen. She can bring up the phacts.

What about those to me (which you've mentioned) to which no one responds? Gosh,
I hope they're saved somewhere for *someone* to read!
