Lack of archives is a serious detriment to the value of this list.
It is relatively easy to have your own archive.
I have virtually all the messages since year 2000, in groups by year.
Likely over 100,000 messages.
Of course people that fool around with Web Mail, AOL and all the other
inferior ways of handling messages will never have yesterdays, last weeks,
or last months messages.
That is their choice of course.
And I feel that loss is directly implicated in what I see as continuing
deterioration. Very little actual CS info anymore.
There is all that anyone needs. I never see a question that is not
answered.
Everyone knows everything by now, don't you know. Or........ all they
want to know.
And I could tell you how many CS messages there were, this month, last
week, last quarter,
and last year, if you really wanted to know.
I could tell you exactly how many messages you have written and send them
every one to you.
Plus, likely the date of the first message you wrote on the Silver list.
No doubt I have one million messages or more on my local computer.
And the drive is not half full yet.
