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.

Someone should compose a requiem for DejaNews, which was a hundred times
better than Google's ****ed-up implementation of an internet archive
(complete with non-altruistic profit motive, unlike Deja).
