I'll clarify briefly. The archives are from a now-defunct mailing list
which accumulated about 190k posts during its nearly ten-year life.
The only interface to the archives is a rather feeble search
interface. There is no way to just read through the archives in
chronological fashion. I know Google Groups isn't very popular here,
but trust me, it would provide a much better interface to these
archives than the current search interface. I will obviously verify
that the messages can be read through GG before dumping all of them
into this archive.
