I don't know what Google Groups you've been using, but I have had a
terrible time with getting Google Groups to find old messages that I
wanted, and there were times when whole groups just up and disappeared.

For myself, I actually use Giganews, which has very nice retention
rates, and I don't think they ever expire any text newsgroup. They don't
have the older things from when they were still expiring text groups,
but if I really need to search that far back, I can use Google Groups
for the search.
