Re: www.pdml.net getting worse
It's a conspiracy. There are dozens of computer operators sitting around waiting for a search request to come down the pipe. When it does, they choose which of the messages shall be returned with full text and which only get the headline treatment. What's really impressive is that this is all done in a matter of tenths of seconds. These are highly skilled conspirators, able to discern which search terms are more important to you, based entirely on the way you enter them. The more important terms, as you have no doubt noticed, are those that only return titles. Okay, back here on Earth, here's what's really happening: Mail-Archive.com is working on their software. It is hoped that the current work will clear up some problems with the service, and they have made some other decisions that should make things a bit more efficient. Personally, I prefer the conspiracy theory, as it's so much more dramatic.

The www.pdml.net list made a huge effort this weekend to catch up (skipping about 3 days, which were never presented online). Another interesting feature is that now only the title of submisions are presented, texts are only occassionally availlable. On what basis is the decission made, which texts are worth presenting in full and which not?
