So, this is a weird request, but I'm hoping someone might be able to
give me a hand.
Back in early 1997, Dan Harms made a post to this group. He mentioned
his updated status on the book he was working on at the time, called
The Necronomicon Files, but that he didn't have a publisher. This
would have been prior to NecronomiCon in 1997, as he and I met there
to discuss the book.
That post is what ultimately led me to starting a publishing company,
and The Necronomicon Files was my first book. For historical reasons,
and because it's the originally starting point of where Night Shade
Books came from, I would very much like to find that post. I've been
googling around, and have yet to be able to find it. It's possible
that I was mistaken, and it was posted in alt.necronomicon or
something like that.
Anyway, if anyone has the faintest idea what I'm talking about, or is
able to find a copy of that post, and would be willing to send it to
me at jasonw(at)nightshadebooks.com, I would be very much in your
debt.

but it really does demonstrate how ubiquitous Google is *not*. 1997 is
just yesterday and Google is stretching to regurgitate stuff, data,
atoms and molecules from so recent a time. Google is a con. I have a
large library, of which most of the words, works, biographical
information, genres, ouvres, and so on are not recorded in the million
servers of Google. I pull a book out, pull a fact out, look on Google
and it ain't there.
I expect its not ubiquitous in respect of HPL as well.
Some NSPs have text back a long, long time. You could try Giga.
