I don't know of any that provide archives as such but I understand that some commercial services have very long retention times which might do what you want. Thanks, but that's NOT what I want. I am far more interested in being able to look up postings of the 1980s. Even Goggle Gropes doesn't go back before 1981, though :-( Well you could try nntp.oldnews.net if you have enough patience. It's releasing Darpanet posts day-by-day. It's quite possible that someone somewhere, probably a university, has kept their archives but I don't know of any that are accessible to the public. If you can tell them precisely what you are looking for your local library may have access to academic sources that can't be reached in any other way, -- Bernard Peek In search of cognoscenti (again) |
