[Swiftwater Gazette] Archives

[Bill Effros]

Mike,

I've had more trouble than success with all the archivers.  People 
figure out how to game them, so they keep changing algorithms, and what 
worked 6 months ago, doesn't work today -- or you find they are spamming 
your list.

The crude archive system built into Mailman is all I need.  Sometimes 
Google sorts it properly, other times it doesn't.  But what I really 
need to get out of it I can find within the system itself by sorting by 
Author, Subject, Date, or Thread, or by downloading the entire text and 
searching it with programs on my own computer.

I don't need to use it that often, but when I do I find I always go back 
to the Mailman system.

Also, new people (as Ed will tell you) never want to do any work at 
all.  They will just ask the same question that you could find answered 
in the archives a dozen different times.

Thanks, though,

B.
