Eric: IIRC, you're right that the archives stopped being maintained simultaneously with the mass unsubscribing. I just did a little more digging, and the expert archives are not only current, but they appear to be complete. This was definitely not the case the last time I checked early this year when there were no updates of either archive beyond November 15, 2003. Somewhere along the line, Mandrake seems to have corrected the problem with the expert archives but the newbie list got missed in the shuffle. Curious. As for the subscription thing: Aren't they all part of the same company? Hell, for all that I know, the servers are in the same room. -- cmg
