Wow, you're responding to a message from Feb 2006! I think the guy
has probably moved on to other things by now and probably isn't
patiently waiting for further replies to his thread. <G>

Well, my DSL provider uses a new services that archives posts all
the way back to 2003

Presumably you're referring to Supernews? My cable provider also
uses a news service (Giganews) that retains (not archives) posts for
about four years. Just because you can *SEE* those ancient posts
doesn't mean that you have to resurrect them.

Giganews does not seem to ever get rid of thier news archives. When
I was on Comcast, that is what we had. The only difference between
Giganews and Supernews is that Supernews does not appear to
retain anything with X-No-Archive set to yes. Comparing between
Giganews and Supernews, before I had the cable modem service
turned off, I could see a lot of stuff on Giganews with X No
Archive turned on that did not appear in Supernews.

X-No-Archive used to be exlcusive to Google. I guess other
sites with longer rententions are using that now.
