Mine does. I'm usually archiving all of the news while I read it. This
is not the problem. The problem are interesting threads on Ada
programming, Gnat, whatever which fall into times in which I haven't
read c.l.a regularly (like the end of the 90s) and which are annoying
to retrieve article by article from Google (apart from the fact that
Googles "original format" option often isn't orginal enough).
