I knew I mentioned somewhere recently where I found one of my article uploads still on Scribd 10+ years later:

> [@Jupiter as a star?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/jupiter-as-a-star/928441/25):
>
> I found the Analog one very quickly on the first page of results when I had the right name. Scanned and uploaded by me, actually, more than 10 years ago before Scribd became pay-to-play.
