Thank you! Is 2003 a hard limit to how far back was captured, or just a current point in the import? I was looking to comp.os.linux.* groups from a bit earlier than that, a lot of the 90s. Thanks again :)
People, once you get to a newsgroup, click on 'all years' to see which years are in the archive, and select which year you want. Don't expect posts from last millennium to be present, at least not yet.
At the time of my comment, 2003 was the oldest year present for the group(s) i mentioned. I searched for a FAQ before posting, it's not clearly marked "imports are still in progress". Please don't be condescending, OP specifically stated "ask me questions." You are not OP.
