OP - you've missed the important "archeological" bit that NNTP news is a protocol far predating the World Wide Web (associated with HTTP protocol - and HTML web-pages). NNTP still lives on for serious discussions like "sci.engr.joining.welding" which you have found.
You are stumbling across s.e.j.w. packaged-up as an HTML webpages (a simple script makes cheap content in hope of obtaining subscriptions etc!)
Go NNTP with an NNTP newsreader
I point my NNTP news reader at "news.aioe.org". Gets any text newsgroups I want. Thanks folk! Appreciated.
OP - you are going to be going into a little trip into an Internet which works incredibly well on just a few hundred bytes of ASCII text.
