The official archive itself is located at http://uksf.org.uk/
but as
a tribute to Michael, it's somewhat lacking.

There's been talk about creating a special section, which would
be specifically for Michael's posts.  Personally, I think it would
be fitting as he was one of the people who helped create this
newsgroup.  He was an avid fan of West Ham and the Australian
national team and was never short of a harsh word or two when
he felt either were underperforming.

He sometimes posted under pseudonyms, such as "Mike Armitage"
to avoid drawing attention to himself and a good number of his
earlier posts were made from Paula's account.

A true tragedy.  You'd never have suspected such a thing from his
post to UKSF.  He seemed like such a quiet chap.  I guess you
just never know.

Indeed.  He actually posted links to a couple of demos of those
tracks on the group long before the album was released.  I remember
thinking how good they were.  They're probably worth a fair bit now
but I doubt he'd want us to share them around.
