Thank you for a gracious apology.

Expressing your opinion is fine, and I hope you send much
mail to the list in the future.  Please understand that that
*particular* opinion has been given several times, and
people who put forward a counter-argument have had to repeat
the counter-argument several times, thus the resultant
frustration.  It was not aimed at you.

I think she was just being geeky -- I think she meant "Or
are some folks just refusing to remember it?".

Now, there ARE mailing lists that have archives of previous
messages.  The SCA Heralds' list, for example, has a
LISTSERV address to which one can send an "INDEX SCAHRLDS"
command for a Table Of Contents, and then "GET SCAHRLDS
LOGxxxx" to get a specific file (one week's concatenated
postings).  I don't think Pug has archives for these lists,
though, and I'm not sure it would be *that* useful unless he
happens to have a spare 8 gigabyte drive lying around.
