Yeah -- what he said. I try to keep up with a lot of this stuff in
real-time, but it's overwhelming, and I'd like to be able to go
back over the discussion in 6months or a year.
[When going back over the list, it helps if folks have edited the
subject lines appropriately when they change the subject, and
correct In-Reply-To:, References:, headers are nice, not to
mention From: or Reply-To:, and Content-Type:. Some mailing list
software seems to munge these beyond recognition. ]
