The point is Apple's archives of Apple hosted lists are _totally_ useless
because the search engine is extremely poor and counter-productive.
Anybody can archive a list. Creating a useful archive is another story.
http://cocoa.mamasam.com rocks! :)
I'll be glad if you were able to archive every Apple's list, Bertrand! ;)
For the record: here's the content of an e-mail I sent to the list admin at

Thanks for the feedback -- the search engine is one of a number of
things we'd like to improve on lists.apple.com. We're making a few
improvements to it right now that will hopefully ease the pain. Thanks
