  It will likely get worse in the future as things change again.

  At some point, we want to have a single, unified mail archive, under our
own control, on our own website, on our own server.  When that day comes,
there will be much rejoicing.  Until then, I think we may just have to be
dissatisfied.

  In some cases, that is not possible, for any number of reasons.  We have
to work within certain limitations, in software, hardware, and facilities
and services.  Remember, all of the GNHLUG stuff is done "for free".

  If you want to discuss this further, I encourage you to subscribe to the
"gnhlug-org" list, which is for organizational issues (like this one).  :)

  Maybe, but I have my doubts.  That system works because it is maintenance
free.  The system simply archives any mail sent to <archive at jab.org>.  Each
list archive springs into existence with the first message sent to it.
