I forget if someone found and posted such a July match.

The three from the Yahoo set I posted should be easy for
someone to find in another set.

That's possible, except that afaik no one has publicly
mentioned finding any of your presumed missing
early AP posts in any public or private archive prior
to the first known dates posted in these threads.

That's what people should look for among their
disks and peers.

Punishment implies perhaps some physical force
as mandatory default course of action.
Whereas with a real AP system... meaning one that is
accessible to the public masses, and thus obviously
reported on in the media... any mark for reeducation
that starts accumulating satoshis will be quickly aware
of their position on the list... no sane person would
at that point refuse to alter their ways or stand down.
Thus chance of any such force ever being actually
applied is very small, and even if so, in a ratio
lower than any statistically relavant property theft,
damage, abuse, injury, and or death.

Those sort of people probably did not hear about AP yet,
else maybe they would have elected somehow
participating in AP's more peaceful approach...
gone on some speaking tours about AP to change politik
started some form of convincing educational system,
perhaps book making or confirming news, etc.
