It isn't. But is is possible for local newsservers to have only subsets of the articles available for reading. Whenever I have to solve a mystery about the visibility of a post, I go over to a archive site like Deja News and see what they have. Deja News is not a full set either (for example they honor the header line that requests that a post not be archived) but it usually helps solve simple scenarios of article distribution and retention.

is the form that I use to get Deja News to look something up for me.
