I just found it a pain some hours ago that list archives from 1998 had dead URLs to the egcs list archives originally on www.cygnus.com and it was necessary to look at messages with similar numbers in the current version of the archives to work out what message a dead link was referring to. (archive.org didn't have the old version of the archives to provide a shortcut.) It's routinely useful to recall some message or discussion from one of the egcs/GCC lists at any time since 1997 and then search and bring up that particular message, and anything breaking URLs or hindering searching is a pain in that regard. (The logs should give real statistics about the number of accesses to each month's archives.) -- Joseph S. Myers jsm@polyomino.org.uk
