Its not a Google problem. Its the uneducated WWW net citizens who
think everything is a blog and couldnt care less about anything called
Usenet. DejaNews would have died on the vine and all content lost
without Google. Ive trained myself not to look at the ads. I wished

used on some repository websites. Im still not aware of any posts
that have disappeared. I use my memory trying to find old posts that
I know are there.
