Yeah, Google Groups is an iffy proposition at the best of times. And, of course, Google Groups is NOT usenet even if it carries some of the newsgroups, a thing which gives newbies trouble on occasion - yes, we have rules and no, they are not Google's. (Though you can usually get by with FidoNet's celebrated original rules - "do not be excessively annoying and do not be easily annoyed" :).) Sometimes stuff turns up on the Wayback Machine if you know where to look - my back trail in there extends to 2004, and I can sometimes find Filk FAQ pages I linked to then that no longer exist.
