Are you looking at your saved local posts?! Or are those online? I miss DejaNews! :(

It's all local. (I have a spreadsheet!* ;-)

Wow. You keep track of everything locally, don't you? ;-)

I mean, you can probably find them on narkive.com too if you dig
deeply enough. AFAIK it doesn't have a search feature though, so
you'll just have to keep adding older posts until you get to 2005. It
may take a few hours (days) but for something so important, I'm sure
you have the time ;-)

More realistically, you can still search Google's Usenet archives too,
on Google Groups. They aren't /updated/ past Feb 22 2024, but all the
older content is still there. It's useless for browsing though, since
Google didn't filter out any of the spam. But if you have an idea of
what you're looking for, it's probably findable.

Ugh. See, this is why I miss DejaNews. Heck, Google Groups could in its
early days before it got worse. And why does https://groups.google.com
require me to log in? Frak that.

* not actually a spreadsheet

Oh, you pecker. :P
