I haven't been able to figure it out. I also posted to the list, and no
one seems to know.
My advice: when posting links, people should copy and paste the
date/timestamp as well.
As for links that are already stale, the best method I could come up with
is to get the year and month out of the link, e.g. in the one you posted,
it would be 0309 ==> 2003-09. Then do a search constrained on that.
