I don't think those archives go back as far as 1989 or so, which is
when I started collecting messages for the Florilegium, then known as
the "Rialto Files" or "Rialto archive". Someone was keeping an archive
of all the messages from the Rialto but that archive was HUGH. The
traffic on the Rialto was much, much higher than it is today. Finding
the needles among that haystack would be rather difficult. Which is one
reason I started saving selected messages.
