   I've never had any trouble looking up old posts.  When did Google buy Deja   
   Vue? I started with an AOL Newsgroup Feeder & switched over to Google Groups   
   when AOL abandoned their site in the early 2000s.  I also believe a lot of old   
   posts are being brought    
   back to life just (just for kicks) because of the dearth of new topics as   
   Google Groups has been dying a slow death for the past 5+ years.
