Re: [Philmont]: Archive for this mailing list?

Randy,

I don't know of an archive, but you can find a web access to the most
recent 20-30 postings at usscouts.org (if I remember correctly).

The reason a usenet news group wouldn't work as well is that
(unmoderated) groups fill up with trash and spam. Sometimes it works
a little better than that (see alt.hobbies.boyscouts), but this list
server stays on topic much more that a newsgroup.

|  On that note, why have this as a mailing list as opposed to a usenet news
|  group  (say rec.scouting.philmont)?  That would eliminate the need for the
|  subscription stuff, and could make all the content keyword searchable via
|  services like Google.
