There are many Usenet mirror sites out there. It is fusttrating when searching for something and just finding the same text on 17 different sites.

Usenet works by copying posts from one host to another, to another, and so forth. If you do not want your words copied, do not post them to Usenet. -- Drew Lawson Some men's dreams for others turn to nightmares. I never would have thought this in my wildest dreams. |

When Usenet was in its heyday, there were any number of sites that just lifted an entire group and tossed it into a forum format. Now that Usenet has waned, there are many fewer of these - a handful here and there. Boron |

As far as I know, that came after the loss of the Dejanews archive. ....It started as a 'port of Dejanews butwas never as functional. Dejanews was structured around being a useful tool. As an activist type I was exhorting google to do it right and they were giving members of Deja/Dejanews updates on the transfer process. 'Gone' was the word I recall being used to describe the data. Incompetents was the word I remember thinking.

I could say the same about being an observer but I'll submit that observers who understand nuanced language and corporate and individual behaviour can make some pretty accurate guesses. -- It was certainly clear that something had gone wrong before they owned up to it. I'm not prepared to suggest that google destroyed an archive of a generation's communication on purpose, but they destroyed an archive of a generation's communication nonetheless... --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
