Deja News was cool. Google, not so much. It actually makes me doubt *all* of Google's high-minded claims. If they're *really* about archiving human knowledge and making it searchable, why have they let the Usenet archive they spent a fortune on back in 2001 atrophy? Even basic searches don't work properly. I thought searching was what Google... y'know, *does*. If they don't care about it any more, then how about releasing it into the public domain? Set up a foundation or donate it to archive.org. Usenet might not matter much any more, but it was vitally important to the early Internet. There's a lot of historical value in there alongside the wibbling about Speccy games and crisps. -- Duncan Snowden.
