    Actually , with regard to stuff before 1995, they're trying. I submitted a story (rejected of course) about 2 months ago that Google was hunting for specific USENET achive CDs, the "NetNews" CD collection from 1992 to 1995. The specifics are here, but basically, they have some, but are missing a lot. They'd rather have the complete collection before they put up pre-1995 articles.
