What to do with Message IDs:

Replace the at sign with %40, and then stick
http://groups.google.com/groups\?selm=
on the front.

So the URL for that message is:

http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=20000420134004.15443.00002202%40ng-cl1.aol.com

This should work for any newsgroup posting that was archived.  (Of
course it doesn't work for message-ids in personal email or list
email.  Nor should it.)

Eric could use some editing himself.  In addition to that posting, he
made dozens of others that said almost exactly the same thing.  Each
of them said a few interesting things the others didn't.  For instance
the posting mentioned here doesn't say that he removed someone
lighting a cigarette in a context where lighting a cigarette was
common when Schmitz was writing but uncommon today.  He mentioned
that edit in several other postings.

I'm looking forward to his _1633_.  Any idea when it will be out in
mass market paperback?  Thanks.
