That's why I was carefully giving you the URLs to use.  And also
trying to convince other people to use them too.

The archive at archive.humbug.org.au has been prone to a variety
of problems in recent times.  I've noticed that there are often
periods when you can't get anything out of it at all.  However,
the automatic archives at lists.humbug.org.au/archives have been
reliable and useful for ages and I would recommend that approach
to the list archives for all the lists and for everybody.
