Usenet archives?

In the past, I've been able to locate some old posts from the alt.sex.prostitution Usenet group via Google groups and maybe one or two other sites. Today, my internet fu is weak, and I'm not having any luck. Can anyone recommend a source you know will have such posts archived?

Let me know if you find any good stuff from a guy who called himself “TinMan”.

I really need to get around to changing my handle one day. 25 years carting around this metal suit is getting old.

Stick with the theme: Metallica, Heartless, Heart o' Vapor ...

Much better than my initial choices of Cowardly Lion or Toto.

Wow….Usenet. Haven’t thought about that in ages!

I was on there lol... the good ole days!

You can go here, but it's not searchable.

Google groups is, but not sure how far back it goes. At least it is searchable.

I wonder what I was up to then. I was still cage196 back in the day. I remember some of you guys. I remember Tin Man for sure. Those were the days when you would see a provider and she would take an hour to get ready, see you for an hour or two and you were treated like a king!

Google groups is, but not sure how far back it goes. At least it is searchable.

In this case, there's no search box or any other search functionality at the link you provided when I used Firefox. After your post, I thought I would try Chrome. The search function was available. I found at least some of what I was looking for, including some names and encounters I'd forgotten. Thanks much.
