Who maintaines comp.lang.ada

[Joachim Schr�er]

Hello,

I have a special question. How are newsgroups like C.L.A
maintained? The reason for my question is:
My last articles sent to C.L.A the 8-th of may and  the 15-th
of may titled
"OpenGL - framework for Win32; Xearth in Ada;
new freeware on Adapower.com"
vanished from the list of articles after about a week.
How is that possible? Has it to do with the german newsserver
I use at home which is "News.CIS.DFN.DE"?

I think it's your news server.  It may retain articles for only a week.

I can still see your posts on our news server here.  You could go to
some web site like groups.google.com to find your posts.

Nobody maintains it per se. However, someone created it and he or she 
might have some feelings for it...still. :)

News is not permanent. Postings expire. When they expire very much 
depends on how each individual newsserver is configured. If you want to 
look at expired articles, http://groups.google.com/ is your friend.

No one "maintains" C.L.A. However, the question you are asking about is a
feature of your newsserver, so you could ask your newsserver's sysadmin. 

You should probably first go read through the website of the Usenet Newbie
Project at http://tgos.org/newbie/ . 

If you are interested in reading through older messages, the best place to go is
Google Groups ( http://groups.google.com/ )
