So far Google keeps all posts forever. (Or they say they do. There are
a few things that *should* be there that I can't find in Google's
archive.)

Google bought old archives from Deja News when they went out of
business. As for newer ones, Google simply operates their own Usenet
server, and saves everything that comes in into their bottomless
database.

You can delete all your tracks from Google, and they honor it.

Hey, thanks for sharing this little bit of info too. It's very good to know
that Google keeps all posts forever, but your right, I had some trouble in
finding some of my older posts as well also. It's also good to know that I
can delete all my tracks from Google as well if I ever ever need to. Thanks
for sharing that with me as well.
