<p>I use the archives. Often I use them to find an interesting article that I remember coming across the list and that I want to share with someone after a topic comes up in conversation or class discussion. I've also used them to satisfy my curiosity about
what has previously been posted about a topic or context. Regardless of how often people use them, I'd also say that they are an important historical trace of the representation of language policy and the sociology of language in the media.</p>

A week or so ago I reported a problem with the archiving of our listserv's<br>
</div>
messages, which was subsequently solved. Access to our archives, which<br>
</div>
is provided by Linguist-List, is fully available again.<br>
<br>
</div>
After that, I sent a message intended to find out how useful our archives actually
<i>are</i>, since nobody reported the problem that I discovered. But so<br>
far, <b>NO ONE</b> has reported to me that they actually find the archived messages useful, or that they have used them for their research or whatever. Is this then the case? The archives aren't used by anyone, except me?<br>
<br>
</div>
Please tell me it isn't so!<br>
