 news.readfreenews.net:120 has about 180 days retention. 
  
 Google doesn't properly archive articles, they crop the headers. They 
 also don't make them searchable as DejaNews once did. Therefore I'm 
 pleased they have given me the option to not have my own articles 
 archived due to their own policies.

 You could simply ask I email you if you wish private communication. Do keep 
 in mind that I'm not obligated to respond to such requests though, I'm a 
 believer that discussions which are started on the Usenet should stay on 
 the Usenet.

 Indeed. As is most discussion.
