Considering the high number of mailing lists that I'm on, it appears that you 
are incorrect in your assessment on the status of mailing lists.
As in, I am on over 20 mailing lists. The majority of which are discussion 
based like this one is.

However, I was quite polite, as one other responder was polite as well. We 
refrained from commenting on the exhibition of sheer ignorance regarding 
internet archives, public searches, the inability of a single mailing list to 
edit the ENTIRE INTERNET, etc.
Meanwhile, you continue to post, you continue to be archived in dozens of sites 
across the planet.
And those archives are quite persistent, I have looked up posts from the late 
1980's that I've made with other e-mail addresses.
