OB answer:  Take a peek in the news.announce.newusers newsgroup if you
haven't done this already.

If the monthly articles have expired at your site and you can ftp, you
can get them by anonymous ftp from pit-manager.mit.edu, (courtesy
of Jonathan Kamens), in /pub/usenet/news.announce.newusers

If you don't have ftp, you can get the same articles by e-mail, and
maybe someone else will post how to do it.
