This was THE list in the early days. The archive should definitely be saved and accessible
and the best way to do that is just keep it.

See, 20

I've pretty much given up on proper e-mail. Everyone and their
pet goldfish top posts now. (some people even complain,
COMPLAIN; when you don't Top Post. :-( )
Back on thread topic: if us grand[p|m]as want to tell all the kids to
get off our lawn, first we need to have a lawn.
Or, in other words, can we repurpose this list to something still
useful? It _is_ kind of historical. For instance, it could be used as
a sort of alt.wikipedia.recovery [1], perhaps.
