Just to clear this up for me a bit. I understand your comment regarding
AltaVista slicing/dicing to create links to original content. But, they do
have that 'Search Usenet' option and that seems to work just like
DejaNews, with links to copied content that resides on their own servers.
Am I right -or wrong?
What AltaVista returns to you on a Usenet search is the result of a
search on their own news server, which "copies content" just like any
other functioning news server. Articles expire in accordance with local
policy -- it's not like DejaNews, which keeps it all forever.
