Seems that someone has taken the usenet posts which we have been writing. And turned them into a web page. That could be a good resource, to read old threads.Newsgroup archives have existed for many; Google now operates what used to be the old Deja News archive, for example.
Note the flipside of this is that things you said 20 years ago can and will come back to haunt you. Choose your words and positions carefully before posting them!
(There is a mark you can put in the header of your newgroup postings to indicate you don't want them archived. Unfortunately not all services actually honor this X-NO-ARCHIVE directive, nor do all newsreaders support making that request in the first place.)
