Eric,

I've been using supernews.com. I have provided them a list of message IDs that
appear on Google and are missing from the Suppernews server. I've been
informed that they all were deleted from their server due to copyright
violations. This is the only thread that I have seen in the last two and a
half days.

I sent text from several of the missing messages and ask them to identify for
me the copyright infringements. As a result the trouble call has been moved up
to "management" for resolution.

Supernews is a paid-for service which have been happy with for the past eight
years. This is my first problem and it is a major one.

I used to pull my messages from aioe.org for several years, switched to
eternal-september.org ~a year ago after aioe had some issues,
quickly/non-rigorously cross-checked against both when this latest issue
appeared (both seemed to have the same issues with the same [missing] posts),
and as y'all DO see some posts on Google that have not appeared on either of
the (both) free providers. FWIW, the 'copyright issue' claim can easily be
seen to be 100% bogus.
