The list volume is so high that the disk space to hold much of an archive becomes a bit expensive. Still, if one of thse could be made accessible to anon ftp it might be worthwhile (if toad allows anon ftp).
Let's not get too silly here: disk space is cheap. The aforementioned bb.com cypherpunks newsgroup takes up 7 megs right now, since July 16, and that's not even compressed (one of these days, I'll take care of that). That's $5 at current disk prices. I'm certainly willing to shell out $2.50/month to keep all of cypherpunks around: I frequently grep for references. No, it's bandwidth of a gazillion cypherpunks getting the material that worries me... but we'll live with it. -- L.
