It looks to me more like a rescue effort on the part of google.  After
ebay bought Deja's profitable business ("precision buying"), what
would have happened to the non-profit usenet archive if google hadn't
picked it up?  Personally, I think that's a valuable resource, and I'm
glad *someone* has it.
