Well, I've picked up messages from the list through Yahoo and Altavista.
Including some of my own. I'm of seriously mixed emotions concerning
web-accessible mailing list archives (Usenet archives are different --
you _know_ that everything you type is being archived by somebody), as
I've traditionally considered mailing lists "semi-private". Since I
belong to a few where I damned well know there are lurkers with
intentions far from honorable due to their status as government goons.
(Although it can be a dangerous job -- some govgoons have been corrupted
by libertarian thinking and thereby ruined for their former profession).

Has this been discussed before? Can Kevan, or anyone help him, get a
search engine on that stuff. It's a bear finding anything in that
archive.
Or am I lame and just missed seeing a serch mechanism?
