There are many archives of these, each of which specialize in
different newsgroups. Some newsgroups are not, as far as I know,
archived anywhere.

You might want to ask on the newsgroup you are interested in or
in comp.misc where the archives may be. If the newsgroup is
moderated, you might want to ask the moderator.

Also, some of the archives in the comp.archives database have
newsgroups; to find out more, send the following message to
comp-archives-server@twwells.com

	path suzy@tank.uchicago.edu
	send help
	send index

(If you aren't suzy@tank.uchicago.edu, substitute your own e-mail
address in the "path" line.)
