I guess this is due to differences in our=20 monitor's DPI. I can image that lower DPI monitors must show it pretty=20 "zoomed-in" and therefore blurry.

For what it's worth, GMane's NNTP server never deletes messages. In the=20 case of gentoo-user, everything's still there; the oldest posts date=20 back to 2002.
