Pros and cons on each side balance out. But regarding a list archive, don't feel you're restricted to Yahoo. I'm able and willing to host a list archive. My machine is hosting several other mailing list archives, and it'd be no problem to throw lojban on the pile. The interface would be less annoying than Yahoogroups', hard though that would be to believe. (See http://cypherpunks.dhs.org/cypherpunks/ for a sample; it's not too fancy, but it's also zero-maintenance.) I have a full-text index and search package, which works, minimally; I haven't had time to play with other packages to find one that works better. The only down side to that would be, I have less than a month of the list traffic. I unsubscribed when I was in school, and just resubscribed. I've so far been unable to bulk-fetch the archive from yahoogroups; the spider I wrote hit it and died, and I haven't been able to figure out the magic incantation to get a cookie-aware spider to work properly. If collective-you would like me to host an archive, does anyone have a reasonably complete collection of the list traffic? co'o mi'e stivn. -- Steve Furlong Computer Condottiere Have GNU, Will Travel The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
