Of course, typing
www.deja.com
Is still the quickest ... and most nostalgic way to access usenet :-)

Yes, it takes you to the above address.

But with less typing. And therefore quicker.... and easier to remember
.... and nicer .......And.......

Not heard of bookmarks then...........?

Actually you are referring to URLs.

No I wasn't.

I was referring to someone's saved Bookmark/Hotlist/Favourite or
whatever (depending on their browser).

This maybe an easier way of entering a URL into a browser - it isn't a
URL in itself (it may contain it, as well as all sorts of other
infomation). - I was referring to the point about it being less to type
in Deja.com.

For newsgroup posts you need to go to
http://www.google.com/advanced_group_search

Which is where we seem to have came in......

As far as I am aware you don't find expired post on the net. I am happy to
be corrected if it is possible.

LOL thank you Janet

The web of our life is a mingled yarn, good and ill together; our virtues
would be proud, if our faults whipped them not.

My memory fades I fear

I don't understand what you are saying here.

Surely if you can read a post somewhere then it hasn't expired
anyway.....?

I don't think the two of you really understand the concept of usenet do
you?

I'm perfectly happy with the concept (and the reality) of Usenet -- I'll
happily admit to not understanding what Ophelia is on about :-)

Actually rereading this I can see where the confusion lies..

USENET posts 'expire' either due to header settings or after your local
newserver deletes them (eg they expire from your server).

However many of them are 'archived' at google groups, and for most
people these could be called 'expired' posts.

The difference is between the 2 interfaces. google is a Web 'front end'
for USENET and google's own archives of parts of USENET. Local
newservers together make up USENET 'proper'.

Actually, reading this ... I can see why people get confused
