Retention

Retention refers to the length of time articles are stored in a Usenet system. Retention is usually determined by "first in - last out" logic where the oldest articles are deleted as new articles are stored. The oldest article in a Usenet system is typically what defines that system's retention. Giganews offers 200 days binary newsgroup retention and 1893 days text newsgroup retention."

Just tried an unlimited newsgroups service. You guys are still the best. Great speeds, retention and service, and I just upgraded my account. I'm staying where it's good!
