Now that google isn't archiving Newsgroups how do we link back to past
posts? I used to always use the google address for a post because it was
easy to get it, but that hasn't been possible after Google stopped
supporting newsgroups.
I've tried to find how eternal september could do it, but they do not
seem to have a feature to provide the post address like google had.

want, try 150000. It can take a while to load all that. Is there
anything back there that's really work reading again?

Peter Nyikos who delighted in dragging up multiple, usually
out-of-context and/or frequently irrelevant, snippets and
combining them into a single "wall o' text".
Nyikos would do that because he could quote mine and only take the part
of the post that he wanted to lie about.
He had this notion of a self
contained lie, that he was supposed to have never told. Nyikos would
make sure that the material he was lying about was not in the post where
he was lying. It is why he would snip out the relevant material before >replying to a post.
What I need is a way to link back to the whole post, so that you can see
the context if you want to check it out.

Most of the bigger Usenet servers like Giganews claim to archive posts
for text froups like T.O. going back at least 10 years.
Agent has the ability to locally archive and search past posts. It's
ability to search using keywords is reasonably extensive. I have
archived T.O. since 1/1/2010. If anybody has a need, I can provide
complete copies of past posts going back to then.

A pointless distinction. The question remains.

You can still link to old posts, I've given two links in reply to you
just a few minutes ago. GG still exists as an archive, just search
for the relevant post and click on the 3 dots beside it to get the
link.
Given GG's infamous ability to repeatedly break their search engine,
it's likely that doing a successful search now is still the challenge.

ES is a Usenet server. To the best of my knowledge, none of them
provide search utilities.
