Blake Ramsdell sent me private mail indicating that he found the
alleged rrc#2 source code on dejanews without any problem.
Silly me; since I had the message-id of the article I was
looking for, I assumed I could search for the article by message-id.
When I tried that, I found only the followups. But as Blake
pointed out, clicking on the subject field of any of the message
goes to the entire thread, and the message I was looking for
was at the head of that thread. I hadn't tried that.
Apparently DejaNews indexes articles by References, but not
by Message-Id.
I apologize for the false alarm and for jumping to the wrong conclusion.
