> Edit #2: Okay, I was not wrong. For example, take a look at the link on that page to "December 1982: First thread about AIDS" [2]. The link takes you to a Usenet post that doesn't even mention AIDS, in the newsgroup fa.telecom. I think that help article is just messed up. That section of the list seems to be doing something weird with the permalinks. The full links still work....just see e.g. the link in this 2002 metafilter post about the AIDS post. Still works: http://www.metafilter.com/22004/First-mention-of-AIDS-on-Usenet http://www.metafilter.com/22004/First-mention-of-AIDS-on-Use... edit: though it's worth noting every other link in that list I've tried (even the ones with the weird permalinks) has worked correctly so far
