John, the archives for the [email protected] mailing list are public, here:
http://list.opera.com/pipermail/opera-users/


As this list has always had a public archive I suggest the new Yahoo group keeps 
archives open too. It's sometimes been convenient for me personally to be able 
to search OU archives with Google by adding things like "site:list.opera.com" to 
a search. I wouldn't want to loose that benefit.

I regret the closing of this list BTW :-(. For a mailing list like this one, low 
volume can actually be a benefit since higher volumes can be overwhelming. I 
wasn't involved in making that decision and have joined the new Yahoo group just 
in case this list's crowd transitions over..
