None of the other sites retrieve anything, all the way to engines such as
Chubba, which uses everyone else's databases.
Go to Deja dot com, or just enter
http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=481568961&fmt=text and you'll see it's been
a problem practically forever. I know that I, for one, have *never* been
able to get anything, and I've been following the List for a couple of
years.
Qutie frankly, other than the occasional posts that Erik deems archival, it
seems that a huge amount of information "goes down the drain". This is
especially frustrating when your question is answered with nothing more than
"we've gone over this before - check the archives".
And even the ASG's site contains nothing more than references to its
officers and offers for subscriptions. So retrievable information isn't even
possible from the group *dedicated* to the fishes' study (which, other than
the occasional mag, makes one wonder just what benefits are to be gained by
membership)...
