Oh that's cool. But that's just one server.
groups.google.com and narkive.com have archived articles (I don't know

groups.google.com is, at this point, completely disconnected
from USENET, so won't even see the rmgroup. I have no idea
what narkive will do; I've never quite figured out how to use
it's interface (there are some surprisingly pathological
behaviors I've never figured out how to work around).
