I left the mailing list about a year and a half ago and since that
time I had been using the archive, and better then half the time I needed
it it gave me a good enough answer to help me. Yes it is tedious and time
consuming, but it is still faster then the alternatives. For those who
complain about having to be very exact about what you are looking for
(somebody said something about OLC 2.0 vs OLC 2.01) lighten up and spend
more then 20 seconds searching. I've spent days before searching on the
archive and found tons of useful information about stuff not even related
what what I needed.
If you don't use it and post a message on the list and never
get a reply, it's useful because then maybe there was a reply that you
never saw because it was posted years ago. It's also very useful when you
accidentally delete your mail folder with that message that you were
saving because you KNEW you needed it sooner or later. (oops)
If you don't use it, or don't like it, shut up and don't ruin it for
the people who know how to use it, and enjoy using it.
