Wow.  Isn't that similar to entering random URLs in your web browser
to find interesting sites?

USENET doesn't work well like that.  I would suggest running through
groups you don't follow closely every week or two with your fingers
on C-k, stopping on threads that interest you.  If looking through
thousands of messages is your thing, take heart; debian-user can
easily provide 1000-1500 per week.

Leave finding the old, interesting content to Google.
