If your request was that old, it has been deleted. Some while ago we purged
the queue of all messages over twelve months old -- on the basis that many
of the requests that old were likely to have altered -- and sent mail to
their originators asking them to resubmit.

If you received no such notification, I apologise.

If you can forward a copy of your request to news-answers-request@mit.edu,
it will be dealt with directly.

Cheers,
Nick
