When, where? No attribution; referenced article is expired from this
Eternal September server, which has decently long retentation times.
 

Eternal September server used to have decently long retention times.
Something like 8 or 9 years. Although I personally don't see why
retention time should be set to anything, but forever.
Then approximately half a year ago Eternal September server crashed.
And it turned out that it had no functioning backup.
At the beginning Ray Banana promised that he will bring everything
back, downloading stuff from other servers. But it turned out less
trivial than expected, some problems with article IDs of something. For
few weeks he kept promising. After that I lost track. The thread about
it is still active at e.support, but I am not reading.

As to this particular thread, you can see the beginning here:

Or on google groups.
