I while ago I offered to sort out an archive (we have a cute web archive
system) - then I get hauled out over to Sweden for most of the month and
had poor connectivity for a long while. I'm back and still happy to sort
out the archive.
Anyone got back dated archives of the list so I can get it archived from as
early as possible?
