Can't find old posts...where did they go?
 

Hello,

I'm made posts to this group for a number of years. I went to look
for an old post from 6 or 7 years ago and I can't find it.

I also was trying to find info about a Mercruiser 3.7 motor so I
entered 3.7 then clicked "search this group" button and I had no
finds? I would expectd about 100+ posts dealing with this motor!

Any ideas where the old archive of items is?

Thanks

Your ISP or News Server may have a retention period of only a year or
two.

When I try to get all headers, I get headers back to March, 2008.
Either Easynews or Cox has a retention period which allows only that
period of retention.

Or my news reader is screwed up!

Dont bother posting any questions about boats here. Most of the idiots
would rather talk ****, than boats. Most of them dont own boats at
all. A select few troll polotics here constantly.
IF...you want help...try marineengine.com Membership is
free, and help is plentiful.

People there dont talk **** like homemade beer, girls moto-cross
racing, golf, old mens reciepes, etc, etc.

You'll have better luck if you avoid this off-topic haven for old
burnt out hippies-freaks, and retired army dip****s.

Thans for the info all. I've been using this same email since at
least 2001 and always do my posts through Google and not a local new
server. I don't think I would have a retention period based on this,
right? When I'm looking at this post and type "3.7" into the white
box at the top right (when reading this group through google), then
click "search this group" I only get back 2 hits for this posting I
placed about a week ago?

As I recall, there weren't a lot of responses.

Yes that's true (there weren't alot of response posts) BUT, shouldn't
I get back any thread that has the term "3.7" in it that was posted in
this group at any time in the past?
