Unless the design has changed, it is possible that the link will change, especially if the archives undergo purging of earlier posts.

If you site is indexed by GOOGLE, you might be able to design a simple SEARCH and use that for broadcasting reference to the article. It may be in its cache too.

Here is a simple GOOGLE SEARCH for postings by "ERIC THOMAS" (whose he?) that are linked to by URL peach.ease.lsoft.com and involve LSOWN-L:

http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=%22eric+thomas%22+lstown-l++site%3Apeach.ease.lsoft.com&btnG=Search

For a "shorter" URL:
