If, like me, you are annoyed by the amount of spam in the archives of www-xml-query-comments and public-qt-comments, I invite you to use these alternative indexes. In addition to eliminating the spam, they:
There are two indexes:
I'm fairly sure that I've correctly divided the spam from the non-spam, but if you find a mistake, please let me know.
Note that I don't have my own copies of the messages themselves; these are just indexes to the messages stored at lists.w3.org. Thus, when you follow a link to a message, you'll see the navigational links that the W3C's archiving software puts at either end of the message text, and these navigate with respect to the W3C's indexes and threads, not mine.
Updating these indexes usually requires human intervention (to separate the spam from the non-spam, and to assign threads to particular documents). So they're updated when I can find the time, and they occasionally lag behind the archives. But lately, the lag has been only a few days at most.
