Okay, I think I've got #47 "Number marking [examples] (2, MAY 1997)"
at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/conlang/message/2031

I'm posting this to the list to avoid reduplication of effort, and
also cc:ing it to Peter Clark because this doesn't do any good if he
doesn't get it.

So far it looks like we have:

#36  "Overdeclention" [sic] 20 Apr 1997"
#37  "Compliments [sic] and Predicates" (multiple articles 21, APR 1997)
#47  "Number marking" [examples] (2, MAY 1997)
#56  "Complexity in language" (multiple articles 28 May 1997)
#67  "YACC" (15 Jul 1997)

with the following articles still missing:

#2   Link broken Colaboration summary (29, NOV 1996)
#11  Use of pronouns (09, DEC 1996)
#14  Deciding on meaning for your words (10, DEC 1996)
#15  Suppletion (11, DEC 1996)
#18  How a conlanger got started (18, DEC 1996)
#19  The GSI (gramatical similarity index) (19, DEC 1996)

  (The above are probably lost for good, as they predate the Yahoo!
  archive, and I find the existance of complete private archives
  stretching back more than 5 years unlikely)

I think I looked for "Mood examples (19, MAR 1997)" and couldn't find
anything that looked like it on that date.  Next I'll look for #28,
#58 and #60.
