I think Deja News had a lot of interest in stored USENET content and Google
might even pay you for these. If the content therein is valuable for
preservation purposes, why not contribute it? Validity of the content can't be
verified, but then again, something is better than nothing. Why let it rot?
Given Google's treatment of copyrighted material (see the discussion in Brad
Templeton's Web site), you could probably just upload this content yourself
and get it indexed for the betterment of humanity.
