I was talking specifically about the promise you made to me to ftp the archives. I set up a computer with an account for you, which is still sitting here, many months later, awaiting delivery. I have written software that will extract individual messages from many kinds of archive files, enter them in a database, remove duplicates and identify missing segments. And if you do care to follow through and send me the various bits and pieces you have, I'll be more than happy to share the cleaned-up list back to you. The system I'm working on these days has now indexed and organized just a little under 1 million messages from about 140 sources... so I think I'm ready to handle whatever Brin-L might throw at me. ;-) If anybody else has substantial archives, please feel free to mail them to me at "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Please *don't* send any large attachments to my regular address, as my anti-spam software will take an irritatingly long time to sift through them. There, now I've told you how to mail-bomb me. Of course, that will also impact the performance of the list server....
