Looks like there are missing months. Using freebsd-hackers as an example: https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-hackers/index.html shows the oldest month being "May 2021". But . . . https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/ shows the most recent month being "September 2020". So: 2020-Oct through 2021-Apr are completely missing. Then, going for more detail for 2020-Sep and 2021-May . . . https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-hackers/2021-May/date.html shows "Starting Tue May 18 2021 - 21:07:44 UTC". https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2020-September/date.html shows "Ending: Tue Sep 15 14:12:20 UTC 2020". So there are about 2 more half-months missing. Some other lists have other date ranges, some similar, some not. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
