Hi,
after I remarked in November last year that the cctech archives have been `lost`
Jay West responded
Walter....
I think you need to ask a few questions before you toss that kind of nonsense out.
For your info - this is a hobby. It is done in spare time. The time period you
peak of - the archives have NOT been lost. Because unlike what you intone - we
do care. Those archives are safe and sound, just not in a publicly accessible
format. One of our kind list members has been working for eons to reconstruct
the publicly viewable content from them.
I will tell him that you are going to volunteer to help him.
Well, it is certainly true that the archives visible under
http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctech/
only go back to November 2014.
Thanks to the Internet Archive there is a full backup of the older
archive sections readily available online. Simply open
http://web.archive.org/web/20141025062159/http://www.classiccmp.org/piperma…
and one gets all archives from October 2014 back to February 2005.
There I found the postings I was looking for, and updated my links to use
http://web.archive.org/. That's all.
So in a wider sense nothing is lost, one has to search in the right place.
With best regards, Walter
