In Usenet newsgroups about Usenet, like alt.(culture|fan).usenet, news.*, 
and ones on newsreaders (Pan2), etc. people linked some old archives 
(other replies already mentioned some) but also said like check large 
commercial Usenet newsservers; GigaNews was a top example but they 
mentioned several others.  Some have free trials and others have prices 
so 
low that for how long they go back for text groups, I think it's worth it 
so will signup... maybe same as free archives mentioned, but it'd be 
easier for me, and maybe more reliable than free servers that often go 
down or lose historical posts.
