I wonder how many peers are carrying and preserving fulltext historical and curent Usenet feeds.
Will anyone give a ballpark number?
Which peers have articles remotest in antiquity?
Even guesstimates might be useful.
i've imported and deduped all available usenet backups/mbox files from archive.org (several TB compressed) without any filtering and accepted every group that showed up which results in 471k groups so far at the Full-Node.
'news.software.nntp' for example dates back to 1987.
it should be readable via NNTP
