if you are only interested in getting machine readable text, but not
necessarily interested in getting machine readable text of great
historical value, then you have come to the right place.

you are literally swimming in free text.

network news is one of the handiest sources of text known.  mega-words
and mega-words of it.  and if that isn't enough, just wait a week and
you will have that much again.

it is pretty much vernacular and content is usually missing, but it is
text.
