There is no "Hall of Shame" on Brin-L.com -- not even a *mention* of it.
Those are not unkept promises, those are not-yet-fulfilled promises.just past a list of unkept promises you made to share the archives,
When I first started on the Archive, all I had were the posts from mid-1998 on. Two members sent me their own incomplete archives, so that an (almost) complete Brin-L Archive could be built. The whole process took an awful lot of time, because I had to go through those two archives (which contained not only Brin-L messages) one message at the time (and there were *thousands* of messages there). Also, part of the Archive had to be constructed by cutting up entire Digests (a few hundred of them) into individual posts.
That part of the whole building process was completed not so long ago. The next thing to do is index the messages, and find out where exactly the holes are in the Archive. After that, I have to figure out how to get the Archive on-line with as little trouble as possible.
All that will take an awful lot of time -- which I do not have available in overwhelming quantities. Although I try to work on it whenever possible, other things (such as family, work and studying) have a higher priority.
Of course, if someone wants the Archive available a lot sooner and is willing to pay me enough to quit my job so I can work on the Archive full-time, feel free to contact me.
The subscriber list was not and is not published on Brin-L.com. And again, it was posted because someone *asked* for it to be posted.near the inappropriate disclosure of the subscriber list,
down the hall from the general complaints.
...which also are not published on Brin-L.com.
