As there are no adverts on their site, why would they want you clicking around on the
site? That uses resource and costs them money.
It was primarily envisaged as a mail service. The web side was added because some folks
wanted it.
As a group owner I can download zipped archives of all content.
The ability for members to download the message archive as a zipped file is configurable
by the list owner.
I wonder what you don't like about
"groups.io" Its pretty much a pure
mailing list?
Like all of the webby time-wasters, they don't have easy to mirror zipped
archives, because they want to to spend time hovering around clicking on
their sites.

The one thing I would change here is removal of the restriction on
attachments.
They take up a lot of space.
Well, two things.. Getting rid of the cctalk/cctech
split as well.
I think thats pretty irrelevant .....
