Disappearing articles problem

David Rutherford - 26 Jul 2008 02:40 GMT
Recently, copies of my articles seem to have disappeared from Google
Groups. I just did searches of Google Groups for my name "david
rutherford" and for the LaTeX versions of the articles on my webpage,
including "4/3 Problem Resolution", "Action-reaction Paradox
Resolution", "Energy Density Correction", "Proposed Quantum Mechanical
Connection", "Biot-Savart's Companion" and my main paper "New
Transformation Equations and the Electric Field Four-vector". All of my
searches for each of these, individually, in the past produced many
hits, but recently (in the last week) the searches turned up no matches,
except for "Proposed Quantum Mechanical Connection", which turned up a
thread I started on the subject, but no LaTeX article.

I've been trying to do a form of archiving of my articles in LaTeX
format in the newsgroups, since that's really the only choice I have.
I've been doing this so that, when my webpage is no longer available,
there will still be a way for people to access the articles.

Does anyone have an idea why these articles would disappear from Google
Groups? Also, do you have any idea what can be done to correct the
problem? There doesn't seem to be any way to contact Google.

Yeah, so what?

This is usenet, not Google.

It doesn't matter if you are accessing via Google, it is still not Google.

How do you search usenet and how long are posts archived in usenet?

What do you mean "search usenet"?

If you mean search through old articles, you go to some site that
has archives and a search engine.

Google just happens to be one place that does it.

Posts aren't archived "in usenet", sites archive usenet articles.

Usenet isn't a "thing" like Google, it is a distributed system.

I was referring to a search for the specific posts which contain the
LaTeX format copies of the articles (papers) on my webpage at

http://www.softcom.net/users/der555

Since the title of each article appears in the subject line of the post,
it should have resulted in multiple hits in a Google Groups search of
the title, as it has for years up to now. Why, all of a sudden, don't
they turn up anymore?
