i've already mention in this little exchange as to how other archives
exist

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sci.math/8JXMY9nMKHk/kQ_2MXhSseMJ

so explanations about other archives is unnecessary

the problem here, is, that, there are people who

 post -from- gogglegroups and have googlegroup accounts

and read from google and have their posts flagged
for abue at google and wonder if their posts have dissapeared forever.

i've already mentioned to archi, if he didn't know,
 that his posts were still visible -somewhere-

i jumped to no conclusion about google

google is archiving usenet posts -and- is allowing
 people to post -to- usenet from googlegroups

and so, some people's posts are being hidden
in the very place they post  from at.

google -has- installed a tool that makes
this sort of vindictiveness possible.

so, it is not a problem with all of usenet and
all possible usenet archives but google alone.

no faultu conclusion jumping at all.

google ahs installed a tool on their
site that has harmful uses

this is not about what drexel does with its archive
or what any of the many other archives do with their sites.

clear enough?
