   I've been trying to find a post I made in soc.history.what-if using    
   usenetarchives.com and having no luck.  It was a parody of a Comics    
   Journal review of a comic strip collection, that I entitled    
   "Understanding Steve Sterling" and "Understanding Steve Stirling."     
   One was part of a longer thread. The other was a repost.  Early in    
   the current century.    
      
   Any help would be appreciated.
