Get yourself a news reader and use a news server instead
of Google.

I believe the typical news server doesn't archive the
content. If that's the case, the only posts that would be
available would be those within that server's retention
policy which varies from provider to provider.

There may be more complete archives of specific groups,
but it's my understanding that Google Groups is probably
the most complete (least incomplete?) general archive
available.

Tom,

Currently there are over 30,000 posts on Newsguy that
match the OP's criteria. The oldest is dated May of 2005.
I have no idea how long Google retains posts for but I
would think it wouldn't be that long.

Scroll down to 2001 and look at the first company
aquisition. To the best of my knowledge, Google does not
remove newsgroup posts, ever.

I guess if I wasn't a dumbass I could have included the link.
