I use the Gmane.org Usenet interface. If you have a Usenet reader, go to: news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.microformats.general I then download all ~3400 messages in one shot, and can search them locally. I can also reply to messages that are from before I started following the list.

A friend had asked me a question to which, alas, I don't have a good answer. How does one search this list's archives? There doesn't seem to be an easy way to do it apart from downloading each month into one folder type of thing. Anybody care to share their tips, tricks, and obviously missed links? :DG<
