I thought we were talking about *usenet* groups.

Any man and his bloody dog can stick up a web site and call it a "group", if
he wants to.

That's 'cause you're *not*, thankfully, a Groper. If you were one,
you'd be presented with Google-only groups that aren't propagated to
Usenet.

They're not propagated outside GG.

See above.

And there are still Google Groups groups and they are still not
propagated outside of Google's web interface.

Hi Kathryn,

Could it be that you accidentally archived your messages to the wrong
location?

If you don't apply a label to them before hitting the archive button,
they are taken out of your Inbox and get archived to limbo. You could
try clicking on the "All Mail" link to see if you have them.
