- The probable problem is that they have expired at your site. Each admin
- set a different expire time on his machine. Once an article expires, it is
- deleted. Once it is gone, it is gone. If it is a group that is archived
- somewhere, you can ftp to the archive to get it. Other than that, you are
- out of luck.
