They may claim that they've fixed it, but they haven't.
Try to search for old posts by USENET group and with a fixed e-mail address - it will not work properly. What doesn't work:
- search by e-mail address,
- search by USENET group, e.g., comp.lang.perl.misc,
- you must log in to get any reasonable functionality.
Why don't they give it back to the Deja people along with sufficient funding? They were doing it just fine, thank you. Wouldn't worry me if _all_ Google Groups posts were trashed and USENET restored to it's primary role.
USENET was once the most important Internet resource to me and the only one I would have paid for. It's been seriously damaged under Google's reign. Heads really, really should roll over this.
