http://www.autographsystems.com/sti/discussion_list/helix9510.txt indicates the website was http://www.neosoft.com/publicnews WhisperToMe (talk) 15:27, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Probably was the URL sometime before 1996, and the Wayback Machine doesn't go that far. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:06, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Articles available online[edit]

Listed here, from 1996 to 1998: http://web.archive.org/web/20000303121454/http://www.publicnews.com:80/pnews/index.html although the Wayback Machine might have missed some.

Sadly I don't know who has the articles from 1982 to 1999. Did the Houston Press receive the archives/microfilms? Did Bert Woodall keep any? I am not sure. I hope Woodall's substance abuse didn't inhibit/prevent archiving or cause the old articles to be lost.

These might not be RSes (Woodall's issues would have interfered with his job) but one might indirectly get a tip to an actual RS, or maybe it's ok for this subject. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:56, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
