You're right - I forgot about that. To make matters difficult, I had
found previously that greatcircle.com does not have searchable archives
of the list-managers list, and they prevent search engines from indexing
via their robots.txt. For others' reference, I did find a searchable
archive at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ,
and this is also externally indexed (at least by Google).
