I've hacked together an archive of the mailing list, it's initially filled with the posts left in my mail folders. It will get better in a few weeks, as I'll stop deleting posts of no interest to me. It could be useful, if new list members had a way of finding it...(then of course, there is the problem of getting them to use it). Since RAID is a moving target, the archive will only store a few months of posts, depending on available disk space. If a good method is available of informing the new list members, I'll take the last few steps to permit public access. dk
