I've uploaded the first 11591 postings to the DragWars Yahoo Group in (compresed) plain text format to my OneDrive at the following location:
http://1drv.ms/1ufaQopI did try attaching it to this forum, but I think it's either too big or there's something about the content\format it doesn't like...
So, about the archive - the Perl script I used to download these messages has left all the metadata in each message, so it's a lot 'bulkier' than I was expecting, but it can be parsed and searched by your favourite text editor, so hopefully will still be of some value.
I have also started a (very ambitious) project to catalogue the archive, but there's a lot of content to sift through so it's likely to take me a
very long time. The work in progress is hosted here:
http://cobwebbedforest.co.uk/library/dragwars.phpThe MS Word document (not yet available) into which I imported the attached text file started at about 6.8 million words. The current count in my work in progress Word document is 5.8 million... Still a long way to go!
And if anyone has the last thousand or so messages from the Yahoo Group that're missing from this archive, it'd be great if you're able to share them here, too.
