Re: Google Groups Truncated Atricles - What's up with that ?

Thanks to everyone who answered.

Here's an interesting note - I separately posted the same original
post to "google.public.support.general" before I rediscovered this NG.

That post has never been indexed [ i.e. cannot be found ] when
searching for it with GG :-) Curious. When searching for it with
Google Web and Google Groups, it showed up in AISE immediately.

|I don't have a link for you, Roy, but this flaw has been pointed out
|before in this usenet group, right aound the time google took its
|useless p.o.s. beta version of the usenet archive online and replaced
|the wonderful, useful old version it had inherited from dejanews.
|
|Unfortunately, the one person who complained most loudly about the
|cocked-up beta version of googlegroups and how badly it sucks was a
man
|named Daniel Min, who is considered by many to be a "usenet kook" due
to
|his personal interests. Alas, in this case, the messenger was so
reviled
|that the message -- wich was true, and could have been verified by
|anyone (and which i verified myself) -- was ignored and laughed off.
|Daniel did give a link to a truncated message, but it was one of his
|own, and characeristically for him, he saw in this google flaw an
|instance of an anti-Daniel-Min conspiracy. Still, the truth was there
|for enyone to see: google is truncating messages in its usenet
archive.
|
|Anyway, to make a long story short -- yes, google's beta usenet
archive
|is badly screwed up and it sucks. Messages are trucncated for
arbitrary
|and non-evident reasons, the find function is not always useable
("find
|by message ID" is a farce), and, worse, a google copyright falsley
|appears on each served piece of text, even those that already contain
|their own author's copyrights.
