[SIGCIS-Members] Google's poor stewardship of the USENET archive

[Ian S. King]

FYI I have sent email.  Please recognize that I work at Google but not for
Google, and I am not authorized to speak on the company's behalf without
express permission.  Also, Google (indirectly) pays my mortgage, and I like
sleeping indoors.  I will let this group know what I can, when I can, even
if it's null.  Further, I would appreciate it if this was not disseminated
to a larger forum, e.g., ClassicCmp.
