   The control.* newsgroups usually keeps only control messages sent to the   
   specific newsserver - either by the newsadmin or by approved users of that   
   server (f.e. cancel messages).

   E-S in general has 8 year retention.   
      
   If you want to know more details, you should better ask your questions   
   there:   
   news://news.eternal-september.org/eternal-september.support   
   It's E-S local newsgroup which should be available only on E-S newsserver.   
   Note that for NNTP "local" means group in a local hierarchy (like the   
   linked e-s one) or local newsgroup distribution (set by "Distribution"   
   field in a message header).   
      
   If you want to talk about newsgroups subscribed in your newsreader, you   
   should rather use term "offline".
