as cool as searchable archives are, i'm kind of with claire on this
one...i'm not particularly excited about the idea of some google search for
my name to turn up some of those archives.  anything we can do about that?
i like the new format (nice job rob), i'm not so on board with the eminent
accessibility.

Danny has been keeping archives of all the improvetheworld messages
 since the beginning (almost 2 years ago now), but they have been in a very
inaccessible format (just one big text file). Danny gave me the challenge of
making them more accessible, so I would now like to point you to the new
archive:
  http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/dreeves/improvetheworld/archives  

 Now if you would like to find something clever that one of the 
members once wrote, it should be much easier. Please let me know if you have
any problems using it. One TODO item is to add search functionality, so be on
the lookout for that in the not too distant future.
