Default Archiving an author's postings

Might just be in the search terms.

Then print into pdf or copy and paste into a text editor and do a save as.

IIRC, Robert's user name was sorted in a news reader from a national archive
and was saved. IIRC, Scott Logan did that. Might be on lathe.com page ? hum.

Unless I'm missing something, doing an advanced Google Groups search on
author, "Robert Bastow" in "rec.crafts.metalworking" returns 2860 'threads'
containing one or more messages from Teenut buried among numerous other
messages. From these entire threads one would have to copy Teenut's
individual messages and paste them into a text file; certainly possible, but
a laborious process.

Can anyone identify a more efficient way; possibly some of you in the Linux
world, or are your Web/Usenet readers as insulated from scripting tools as
seems to be the current case in the Windows world?

the individual, out-of-context messages, not the entire threads.
