Hi Retro Guy,
Thank you for adding value to the combined tribal knowledge, and for
clarifying the role of novabbs in a short 3-year/100K archival.
Here's a table for people to put into their Usenet notes file:
a. DejaGoogle archives (no longer updated after February 2024)
<
http://groups.google.com/g/news.admin.peering>
b. Davide Cavion's Narkive (WIP)
<
https://news.admin.peering.narkive.com>
c. Retro Guy's NovaBBS/RockSolid archive
<
https://www.novabbs.com/computers/thread.php?group=news.admin.peering>
These are useful for those conscientious netizens who run a search before
they post a question or they reference an existing answer - and it will be
useful to forward (e.g., by email) a reference the non-Usenet citizen (like
your mom) to a useful Usenet thread or article (which they can read without
needing a newsreader or an account as it works on every platform browser).
To continue to add useful on-topic value with every post, there's also the
Message-ID archives (which most people know about, but perhaps not all).
<
https://article.olduse.net/>
<

For example, one can look up an article if they have the message id, e.g.,
Message-ID: <ulg14i$3o4hi$1...@paganini.bofh.team>
Message-ID: <
2023121523452261...@narkive.com>
Message-ID: <
245e50b032147b7b...@news.novabbs.com>
etc.
Bear in mind that the dejagoogle archives removed the message-id from the
header information years ago - but many of the other archives did not.
