It depends on the group, but I can tell you that Pac
Bell (then SBC, and now in its AT&T incarnation) news
servers have some of the WORST retention I've seen. I
mean, it can be laughable -- easily as bad as what you
describe, maybe worse.

What about that guy up in Canada, Jack (Troughton ?).
Didn't he arrange some alternate newsgroup coverage
for the OS/2 stuff ? This was initially (in part) to
filter out the flames and B.S. emanating from one
notorious nutjob, but I would think his retention
would be one of the best ? I have his servers
bookmarked, but not in a way that's handy at this
particular moment.
