No! :)

What do people want?

People want Gmane! And, in particular the Emacs
Gnus interface where mailing lists appear and
behave as Usenet newsgroups.

A web archive would be good but isn't anything
to over-emphasize if no one can do it in
a relaxed way. But it would be good as the
discussions are then accessible to the people
who use Google, that way they will not only
find answers to their questions (sometimes :)),
they will also find _us_ and hopefully join our
small communities!

So yes a web archive would be good in all the
obvious archive senses, but also in the
get-help-find-us aspect!

Remember tho that many people who have mailing
lists have their own archives so yeah, an
archive isn't necessary if nobody want to do
it, really.

You are not fishing for sympathy, you are bold
enough to write about personal stuff!

You are great and everyone knows that.
Thinking about stuff like that, speaking and
writing about it doesn't change anything.
We want Lars and we want Gmane! <3
