I found the posting reference here:

No idea if it survives at all.
If you can screen shot the headers of the posts it’s easier to find them in old usenet archives. The UTZOO stuff is an AMAZING resource. It’s been incredibly valuable looking for old stuff. Of course the real fun is in searching it.
Feel free to wget the BZ2 files from:
https://utzoo.superglobalmegacorp.com/
Just don’t spider into the /usenet directory as it’s all the files extracted and you’ll no doubt be pulling several million files… much easier to get the .tar.bz2 ‘s.

I put the screenshots (literally - with my phone) here:
http://maryannhorton.com/usenet/
Note the preposterous claim that the 4/15/81 map is the "Backbone" - I
have no idea where that came from. The backbone was first proposed 2
years later. Clearly this is a full map of Usenet as of 4/15/81.
