Derkeiler usenet is broken down by groups, and then by month and year. Once you select a month, all the conversations for that month are listed in a clearly threaded form.
Older, but much harder to use is Google Newsgroups. The Google database is actually a continuation of the old DejaNews service, and goes back nearly 20 years.

The search feature returns results very quickly. The newest version also consolidates all the search results for similar article names.
