[comp.sys.atari.st] Master Digest Index

csrobe@ICASE.ARPA (Charles S. Roberson) (07/27/87)

Has anybody thought about collecting a master list of the what subject
headers are in which digest.  What brought this to mind was someone just
requested an e-mail address for MWC.  I thought i had seen one but
i didn't have it in any of the issues i had saved.  I though about
trying to get it from listserv@canada01, but i don't know which one to
look for.

This seems to be an interesting problem.  There is an awful lot of 
information in those back issues.  Perhaps, it would be better if some
kind soul with some spare time (lots of it) could pour through the
archives and extract the meat (sans flames, opinions, and religous wars)
and compile a great resource.  To tell the truth, I would be willing
to pay a nominal fee to cover to get such an encapsulation.  I'm not
talking about a real money-maker, but if someone actually put together
a book, i would buy it (given the price was reasonable).

Does anybody have a simpler solution to this quandry.  Something that would
take less effort, but still have large social benefit.  Its a real shame 
that so much good info is lost in the abyss.
