As for doing a searchable index of the 313 archives, Hyperreal is a volunteer-run system and would welcome someone coming along to hook up a bit of this and a bit of that and do it. As we always say, it's an SMOP -- simple matter of programming.
If anyone has an idea as to how to do this without having all the messages from the last 8 years exist as standard Web pages that can be tracked by search engines, let me know.
Used to be that browsers could open up the GZIPs and read them right in the browser window, right?
