We got to provide solutions our ourselves. This is the USENET spirit
--- by the people for the people (with a sufficient sense of capacity).
There might be enough fragmentary archives around to form a "mostly
complete" set, but it'll take a lot of time and effort to unearth them
and coordinate their collation. For some reason I don't get the feeling
that Google will have much interest in releasing theirs.
All this talk about archives has been about old stuff but what about archiving the current discussion on usenet ? Is anyone committed to this ? I only use free servers (only for text groups) and their retention is generally a few weeks. Is there any newsserver , even if it is read only , which has an unlimited retention policy at least for some text newsgroups ?
