       It probably isn't AOL, it is the fact that
Usenet does not have a single backbone hub, and not
all messages propagate to all servers.
       I have been so mad at time, trying to find
articles that I see partly quoted, I have been ready
to quit my ISP, but I haven't been able to be certain
what the problem is.
       Ten years ago other computer networks were
run by volunteers, had good ASCII and ANSI discussion
groups, and never lost messages.
       And now Usenet services cost money, and they
are not dependable.   

       It looks like dejanews is either the solution
or the problem, I really don't need to read all
articles in a thread, but I want what I feel I am
paying for.
