When Google took over Deja it took a while to get back to Mar 29, 1995 and had almost given up hope that Google would make good on a Deja promise to restore back many more years. We've got it now.

Most of my complaints with Deja at the end where they messed themselves up before their database and engines were taken over by Google have now been resolved.

You can use the old Deja links or the MessageID
Logical lookups is better than Google first provided, not quite as good as Deja had but I think it is there just not announced (based on some of Jeremy Nixon's stuff).
You can once again obtain the original posting with all headers, so you can find the MessageID.
Google Advanced Groups Search is no longer marked Beta
The Advanced Groups Search now has it's own HELP pages, rather than just pointing the to Web Search HELP pages.
a days range for articles fill in the number i.e. _5_ days in addition to the scroll bar or entry of a specific date range.
Search arguments like AltaVista.

Google Groups Help
Remediation for disatrous Google Beta Groups, Near the end of Nov 2004, Google Groups unleashed it's despised Google Groups Beta. Since nothing has been done to put things back to working order, I've tried to make notes of the things that were taken away from me, and if at all possible to get back what was taken away. (another attempt to obscure/destroy/hide message-id which is the building block of newsgroups)
Orientation and Remediation for Google Groups style (about Feb 2007), Google changed the style of Google Groups to a space hogging form with a useless third column anyone using less than 1024 x 768 will not be able to use it very well. Page helps to show how to work with it, and for Firefox users also has a bookmarklet to remove the third column. (also available on Excel xlnew.htm page)
