   Other newsreaders I've used didn't have archiving... only holding   
   active posts.  If Xnews is different, great, but just because it is a   
   newsreader doesn't mean it does.   
   So, does Xnews have 17 year old posts?

   What maths?  Google Groups allows one to read and post to usenet.  She   
   said she was doing that.   
   On Google Groups they do have an "all groups" and a "google   
   groups"(usenet) option so some people make the mistake of calling   
   newsgroups "Google groups" and if they do, they should be told "this   
   isn't a google group".  Just as some people call them "boards" or   
   "sites".   
   However, Sue in PA clearly call the ng "newsgroups" and stated that   
   she was using Google Groups to read the posts... so, no, she didn't   
   make a mistake.  She didn't call the ng a Google Group.  She didn't   
   need correcting.   
   You did make a mistake in your "math" (or "maths" in this country).
