Hi, I have farily recently posted some messages which had a vibrant response and
found the dialogue most enjoyable. Recently though many messages (not mine) I’m
told are ‘no longer available on server’. I was just wondering who it is who
removes these messages and what criteria is in use for this. Cheers Dez

Hi Dez,
Messages aren’t removed but your local newserver will “expire” messages after a
given time. If you want to access old messages, http://www.deja.com has archives
of all newsgroups. I believe the unicycle newsgroup is archived elsewhere too. I
subscribe to the mailing list so I have all (most?) messages arrive in my Inbox
and can decide whether (and when) to delete them.
Regards, Mark.
