Who says old is bad? You don't mind using TCP/IP as well, do you?
Personally I have yet to see a good web forum with threaded view that
doesn't roundtrip to the server for opening/collapsing threads.

The messages simply aren't deleted, as per configuration of the server I
guess. If there is a problem with searching through the web-frontend,
please tell the webmaster.
Some groups are mirrored in a more fancy web-frontend at
http://www.eclipsezone.com/java/forums/c5605.html

Nope. Maybe your newsreader is?

You can also search the newsgroups and mailing lists via Google. Just
specify site:dev.eclipse.org when performing your search.

you can. just use the "search"-entry in the menu left.
it does not mean, that it is a very convenient search-interface -- a
really useful interface for the newsarchives would be highly appreciated.
i don't understand why eclipse.org does not provide a convenient interface
to search the news-archives (_without_ need to authenticate just to read
some of the searchresults) ...
