To tie Andy's suggestion of

Let's pop this message-id into Andy's suggested link... 
 Newsgroups: misc.phone.mobile.iphone,comp.mobile.android,alt.comp.os.windows-10

It worked.
 <https://usenet.id/vtnhos$1jn3$1@nnrp.usenet.blueworldhosting.com>

The problem with the message-id approach, at least that one, is that it
doesn't give the rest of the thread. It only gives us the opening post. 

Let's compare with  <http://al.howardknight.net/>
 Drat. "HTTP Error 503.0 - Service Temporarily Unavailable"

Let's compare then with <https://newsgrouper.org/> 
 [continue as guest]
 [continue]
 
Drat. It doesn't show the whole thread either. 
 <https://newsgrouper.org/%3Cvtnhos$1jn3$1@nnrp.usenet.blueworldhosting.com%3Ev>
 <https://newsgrouper.org/%3Cvtnhos$1jn3$1@nnrp.usenet.blueworldhosting.com%3Emv>

Let's see if we can find the thread using any of these links:
 <https://tinyurl.com/pug-comp-mobile-android>
 <https://i2pn2.pugleaf.net/groups/comp.mobile.android>
 <https://newsgrouper.org/comp.mobile.android>
 <https://comp.mobile.android.narkive.com/>
 <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/comp.mobile.android
 <https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android>
 <https://www.novabbs.com/tech/thread.php?group=comp.mobile.android>

Starting with  <https://tinyurl.com/pug-comp-mobile-android>
which translates to <https://i2pn2.pugleaf.net/groups/comp.mobile.android>
Drat. "can't reach this page"

Let's try  <https://newsgrouper.org/comp.mobile.android> by searching for
 " How do nonroot Android & nonjailbroken iOS run SMB servers "
Bingo! This gives us the entire thread. 
 <https://newsgrouper.org/comp.mobile.android/search/1755829405>

Now let's try <https://comp.mobile.android.narkive.com/>
Drat. "503 Service Unavailable"

<https://www.novabbs.com/tech/thread.php?group=comp.mobile.android>
Results in "404 Page not found."

And, of course, Google groups search died before that thread authored.
 <https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android>
Whose last post is 2/22/24

Unless there's some other mechanism, that's all I know of. 
Anyone know more than what is in the test I just ran above today?

Please let the rest of us know so we all benefit from your knowledge.
