I think everyone agrees with this idea, and has for a long time. It's just that it would be better if we moved each "listname-YYMM" directory to "listname/YYYYMM" and then have index.html in the "listname/" directory. However, such an reorganization would take some work, and also nobody is brave enough :) We'll need to get it done, eventually, it's getting out of hand. -- Digital Electronic Being Intended for Assassination and Nullification
