How did Google, which hasn't itself been around since 1993, get hold of
posts from then? The implication is that there must be another archive

Go tohttp://groups.google.com/advanced_searchand enter any combination
of
keywords, newsgroup, author's name, and date that applies to the message
you're
looking for.

I'm guessing that Suzanne put quotes around "permanently" because Google
makes
no promises about how long they'll continue to keep everything. However, I
can
still find a couple of my posts from October 1993.

Thanks for answering my question. If Google archives them permanently,
then
how do I find them...can you give me an example? Thanks in advance.

The msnews server keeps messages at least 60-90 days, I think, but they
are
archived "permanently" by Google.
