I no longer search the Vanagon archives. Instead I search my
gmail.comaccount, which now has two years of stored Vanagon mailing
list messages,
neatly organized by topic, easily navigated, fully searchable from any
computer connected to the internet, and stored on Google's servers, which
are mighty reliable. The account is free. All you need is an invitation,
which is available just by asking here.

Stats: two years of stored messages 15,000 messages; 155MB storage (I've
used just 6% of the 2.7GB granted my gmail.com account in 2 years).

My gmail.com account is dedicated my membership to this list, so there's no
need to do anything, not even look at it, except when I want to drop in on
the community, or look for Vanagon wisdom, humor, or advice.
