As i mentioned on the old ls, there is a collection of emails dating
back to 1997. It would likely be a big job to migrate them from the
current computer and email program to files that can be accessed on the
new ls... but i am willing to attempt that if there are no big
objections.
However, we should all be aware that most of us have made the usual
mistakes of posting personal material to the list when we thought we
were writing to an individual in private.
If i don't hear to the contrary I will assume that nobody wants to
withdraw their erroneous emails from the archive that would be created.
But i think it may be worth some discussion. It would, be very difficult
to separate out emails that were mistakes from those intended to be sent
without some more specific information about content and approximate
dates. As well, I am not even certain that there is any good way to do
this and won't be trying until my last edit of my dissertation is
complete.
So let me/us know what you think about attempting to restore a permanent
archive.
