Regarding the cluttered archives: It seems to me that there is MUCH too much extraneous information that results from one-line replies such as "thanks for the information," sent to the list rather than an individual, and also from various "humorous" rejoinders and such. I think that it would be hard for the list owner to cut out these essentially worthless bits from all the replies; list members have to take responsibility for that, I think.
