You might get something out of reading the opening post of this thread.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould

I already read and understood it. It was the (working) search function on RD.net that I attempted to use to unearth said post of FUWF's. I still couldn't find it, even when I went to the lengths of including "all posts" in the advanced search - searching by author. That's why I stated that it was possibly relocated to the "dungeon", so to speak, back in the day...

I thought there might be an off-chance that maybe Nineberry had somehow managed to mirror previously hidden areas of the forum, or an off-chance that something might just have gone or be going wonky on RD.net's system, and that's why that had been brought up.
Then they for sudden joy did weep,
And I for sorrow sung,
That such a king should play bo-peep,
And go the fools among.
Prithee, nuncle, keep a schoolmaster that can teach
thy fool to lie: I would fain learn to lie.

Out of luck then, in that case. I even tried Google caches using a few combinations of keywords suggested by your description of the post, and came up with zilch. O well...

Yeah... Almost makes me doubt my memory of the event. But I SWEAR, I SWEAR - it was there once. Must have been set aside in the hidden Thread of Shame. Oh well...
