And that's simply insulting.  I've been trying to read _all_ these posts,
but I simply haven't had enough time.  I've been dumping hundreds of posts
daily, and sometimes that probably even included this thread. Typically, if
I get more than a hundred posts behind in a newsgroup, I just mark them all
read.  If there are watched threads, I try to read them first, but
sometimes they get missed. It's completely unreasonable to expect anyone to
be able to read every single post to _any_ given thread.  Many of us have
lives.

That is merely a blueprint (from well before creation of the Edgy archive)
for what they _want_ to do with Edgy.  It says nothing about the archive,
and whether or not we should be using it.  There has been no "this is Edgy,
find it here..." announcement.
