We've been discussing the Usenet web-searchable archives for years.
 
If you claim they don't exist, then there's nothing we can do for you.

 
I am aware of them. And I say that posting an article you name
"tutorial" to Usenet doesn't count as publishing a tutorial.

Your opinion is essentially worthless, Chris - compared to that of mine.
See below for absolute proof as to why I can say that with conviction.

I'm nothing like the common person - Chris.
I'm nothing like the Apple trolls - Chris.

I've done things you (and the trolls) can only talk about, Chris.
I do it so that people can find those tutorials easily on the net.

My tutorials are published by posting them due to the fact that they are
available to anyone who can click on a search engine and besides, I
couldn't remove them even if I had tried to remove them from the net.

They're permanent (for all values we'd consider a permanent net record).
And it's available to everyone on the planet who knows how to search.

If only you don't know how to search, then it's not available to you.
But my grandmother could find it, so it's just you who can't find it.

PS: I think it's ridiculous that you've never posted a tutorial in your
life, and neither have all the trolls who denigrate mine, and yet, you
claim a tutorial isn't a tutorial simply because you can't search for it.

This is my opinion.

When you post a tutorial, Chris, then your "opinion" will carry weight.

You may have a different opinion

I do. But I've posted tutorials. So many of them, I can't even count them.

But more than that, I've spent decades (elapsed time) getting those Usenet
archives available to the common man Chris - which is different from you.

Note how very different I am from you and the common trolls Chris:
a. I've posted many tutorials - you've never posted even one.
b. I've worked with archival sites to make the archives available

You've never done either of those two rather time-consuming tasks Chris?
Why not?

Note that the fact I've done both of those time-consuming tasks, means my
"opinion" carries far more weight than yours does, Chris. That's important.

What you "think" is meaningless because you've never done anything.
I have.

a. I posted tutorials
b. I worked with the web sites to make the archives available

In fact, it took years (elapsed time) to get Google to change their URL to
finally be something easily remembered (& yes, I 1st called them up on the
phone & if you don't know how hard that is, you've never tried it).

I made these URLs for example, just to make the web search easy.

Nova
 <https://tinyurl.com/nova-misc-phone-mobile-iphone>
 <https://tinyurl.com/nova-comp-mobile-android>

Something went wrong with the narkive tinyurl though, so these are URLs.
 <https://misc.phone.mobile.iphone.narkive.com>
 <https://comp.mobile.android.narkive.com>

Bear in mind that Retro Guy died of pancreatic cancer last Saturday, so the
Nova-BBS archive will be moved to go-pugleaf archives, where you can rest
assured I'm working with "Billy-G" who is carrying Forward Retro Guy's
Legacy in making all of Usenet available as web-searchable no-registration
no-nntp-specific-knowledge-needed common Usenet archives for the masses.
