That’s why I suggested the DPA which does allow for rightsholders to request copies of data pertinent to themselves - I’d argue that usenet postings would fall under that scope.

Doesn't that just create an incentive to destroy the archive before GDPR authorities can shake them down over it?

Perhaps - but it also creates an incentive for companies to destroy inappropriately-held and collected personal data they have no business possessing.
The DPA isn’t new - it was created in 1988 - and UK ISPs had Usenet/NNTP servers long after that.
