I just don't know the story myself.  Did Google "grab" from Deja News or
were we about to lose access to Usenet forever and Google rescued a
sinking ship?  I just don't have those details, sorry, but maybe you do, in
which case may I suggest cashing in and writing a tell all book?  Lots of
fascinating lore I'm sure.  I liked 'Fire in the Valley' and that other one
about Digital Equipment or whatever.
