I have revised my estimate of the web readership of my largest list up
substantially over the last few weeks, since the other 'unofficial' archive
for it went away. And some of the folks who have written me for the right
URL were long-time subscribers and contributors. We miss their insight.
I gotta learn more about cookies. This idea sounds better all the time.
(My wife is helping to revise a book on web design for teaching and writes
in javascript, I'm the troglodite these days.)
Do any of the list management packages support web-based readers via cookies?
(I'd prefer not to roll my own again.)

I still get a few advertisers who try to subscribe, confirm, post, and
unsubscribe in one day. But I have a four day waiting period for new
subscribers for exactly this reason. And only one of my lists seems to
be targeted for this, curiously one of the smaller ones.
