Ahh, I see I have taught you well grasshopper!  (This is normally my 
mantra)

This really is becoming a FAQ, much like smrsh, UID/GID, and allt he 
rest that makes up far too much of this list's traffic.  Anybody
want to start maintaining a FAQ or setup a FAQ-A-Matic?

Ahh, but its not Python...

My main complaint with the internal archiver is that it archives
messages as they are received and not as they are broadcast.  While
the current setup has advantages for reproducability, it makes far
more sense to me to archive the messages as they users see them, not
pre-processing.

Eek, another web option.
