and you can't set up a 'tinyurl' to such a specific
post within a thread, like you could before.
so, it's no 'improvement'
but maybe that's what they want.
to make it so crappy that people will vacate the premises entirely.
no big deal...
maybe you should give the archives back to deja-news
or just stop keeping them at all.
if you weren't going to keep an archive, i wouldn't care
but you do, and now it's very difficult to naigate.
