I totally agree with you, you only said it better than I could.
But at the same time I am not going to archive mailing lists for the
convenience of others, so I won't make any more effort in to this
particular issue. I'll let Jim handle it. But I can only see a few
years in the future the same discussions come up again. "Current
archive is hard to search, we need a better archive" to why don't we
press a DVD and distribute. Oh it's legally in the gray zone, can't do
it. I'm one of those who learn from mistakes rather than from success,
so it's a bit frustrating experience but I don't see it's worth
spending more time.
