I suggested and Bill even seemed to agree, but someone else suggested
scrapping the idea, so I didn't pursue it further, using gmane.org's
newsserver to mirror the archives and allow searching which seemed to be
having some difficulty on Yahoo!. I know it wouldn't allow archiving
photos, but if it could archive messages and allow searching, I think this
could be a valuable backup.
