   Is there a fuller archive anywhere else?   
      
   The internet archive https://archive.org/download/usenet-soc has a 155Mb   
     zipped MBOX file archive from 23 Oct 2000-17 Jun 2013 (623 Mb/15.4M   
   lines unzipped)   
   https://archive.org/download/usenet-soc/soc.genealogy.britain.mbox.zip   
      
   Notepad++ can open it. It is readable with a mbox-viewer.exe (but I   
   stopped before it had loaded the whole file).   
      
   Perhaps someone could host it?
