well not really. usenet depends on a large number of NSPs all peering
(sharing files) with each-other. the purpose of the archive at isc.org
is for NSP admins to review and add new groups as they see fit or when
requested to do so by customers.
nobody can delete anything from the isc archive apart from the admin of
that site.

"I went to the Garden of Love, And saw what I never had seen;
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.
And the gates of this Chapel were shut
And "Thou shalt not," writ over the door;
So I turned to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore.
And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tombstones where flowers should be;
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys and desires."
