Google has multiple servers, and they don't give out nntp feeds
(at least not casually.) Google also places limits on the number of
hits that may be generated per query (about 1000.)

Google does not carry *all* the news. There's a flag you can set
in your headers (or as the first line of your posting) to cause
google to ignore the posting.

Depending how far back you need to go, you might find Supernews
adequate.
