Links to newsgroups in OEIS

I am not happy with having links to (for example) the
sci.math newsgroup archives for important material related to
sequences.

I would rather have the material as a plain .txt file on the OEIS web site,
with a link from the entry

This is something for the future.

The reason is that these newsgroups archives may disappear,
or get moved to a new home, and then the link is lost.


One day in the future it would be good to go through
all links to newsgroups, 
decide if the material is important,
and if it is, get permission from the author,
and make a plain text file to add to the OEIS web site.
