You mean you'd like to have a searchable list archive, like those that luckier and 
richer mailing lists have.  I'd love that too, believe me.  My hard disk is getting more 
and more full...

This would also allow new members to scan what has already been discussed on 
list and avoid asking questions that have been already answered.  Which is not bad, 
after all!

What about this?  Are there some techno-experts that could manage this? AFAIK 
the list archives do not have to be placed on the same server where the list is.
