Whoa there, hard charger. What you KNOW may not be as right as you think.
I don't handle the archives (all of the list and list archive stuff is
handled by David McFadzean), but I have very recently done searches myself
for people I KNEW were in there (I was looking for a couple email addresses
for people I knew posted to the list frequently), and I didn't find them
in my author search either. Consider, just for a moment, the possibility that
there was something wrong with that part of the archiving system.
