This is a Usenet news group -- by definition such are distributed
peer-to-peer message passing systems. 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).
