I have been following the whole thread, and my comments were in the
context of the whole thread.  The subject I was addressing was whether
either the current or previous versions of the list supported retrieval
of old messages.  Neither the previous or current incarnations of the
list do this, according to me, but what do I know?

Yes, I had heard.

I was not complaining, just reporting results of an investigation to
save others the trouble of doing it for themselves.

Yes, I appreciated your contribution, but that wasn't the subject
under discussion, which was retrieving messages via the mail list.
I was replying to someone else.

Yes!  In this message:

https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-April/244568.html 

I said that your suggestion was a good one.  Maybe you missed it?
That's when I was replying to you!

Yeah, I haven't been complaining or advocated that we use anything
different. 

[ additional proposed solutions that are perfectly good, snipped. ]

If you don't mind, I'll continue to participate in the list, which I
like very much the way it is.  Have you confused me with someone else?
