Once upon a time, Google included usenet groups in the results returned from a default (Web) search. That doesn't seem to happen now; instead you are pointed to thread fragments on the compilation sites. (This is a snapshot at a useful point in the history of Google and usenet. The whole story is much more involved).

And you believe that is a good thing?
Does your employer agree to pay you to spend time attending to your personal finances while you are at work?
What company is that?

I'm not familiar with your posts and am unsure if you are using humor here or not.
In answer to your question, an employee may browse the internet over he/she's lunch hour (which is unpaid time) to check news headlines, sports scores, or (in this case) look for new messages, if the activity does not use excessive bandwidth.
