Many other NNTP newsservers carry this newsgroup:
newzbot! public USENET newsservers -
http://www.newzbot.com/
NNTP .public. News Servers -
http://www.nyx.net/~bkraft/
Most of them don't sync with the MS newsserver very often so it might take
quite a bit of time for new posts/replies to appear.
The MS newsserver keeps posts available for a minimum of 90 days. Some
other newsservers delete posts after 24 hours or less.
