How far back can one go back for posts? I can only see about a week.

As others have suggested, it varies from provider to provider - or more
specifically, from server to server as not all ISPs provide a USENET server.
You can subscribe to third-party USENET providers that offer differing
retention policies, but Google Groups (the former DejaNews) is your best
best for searching old posts.

Just don't post using Google, if you can avoid it.
