Retention of messages is dependent upon the policies of each entity providing a news server. I recall a time when my ISP rotated text groups via a monthly expiration, and binary groups were expired in something like 36 hours. The closest long term known archive might be the copy found on Google Groups (but since Google doesn't vet users, there are many of us on Usenet that tend to filter out messages from GG as much spam comes from them). -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfraed@ix.netcom.com HTTP://wlfraed.home.netcom.com/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
