Before I post the longer version…
I am looking for a full copy of the dvd-discuss archives. Does anyone have it??
The Berkman Center, who had been archiving them is no longer doing so!! (hard to believe), even though they have a broken link from this page.
There are some archives I have found but they seem incomplete.
If you have earlier mailing list archives, please please let me know!
update: So thanks to some help I have the earlier archives on the wayback machine but they should be archived on the same spot, no?
