tenant = 'tenor'; archive = 'to achieve'

>From the _First World War Poetry Digital Archive_, an extensive collection
of sites and stuff "highly commended at the Times Higher Educational Awards
2008 for 'Outstanding ICT Initiative'" and "copyrighted by the University of
Oxford" [http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/ww1lit/gwa]<http://mail.google.com/mail/[http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/ww1lit/gwa]>

"The whole tenant of the article can be summed up as ‘What the Germans had
failed to achieve in 100 days at Verdun in comparison to what British had
archived by the 8th October at The Somme’. Consequently the article makes
exaggerated claims for any success and downplays any failures."
AFAICT, this was written by the anonymous editor rather than a member of the
general public.
