The files below represent a complete archive of the messages section of the Shavian Yahoo! Group, made on 12 Februrary 2005. There are 3,550 messages. Each file contains on average 30 messages; the filename represents the number of the first message in that file. Some of the Yahoo! header material has been stripped from the HTML, but other stuff, such as the advertising banners and internal Yahoo! links, remains. The only links within these files which are intended to be in a working state are the Previous, Next, First and Last links.
At the time of writing, the group can still be accessed at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/shavian/. However, Shavian discussion has now migrated to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/shawalphabet/. I believe that Yahoo! has a policy of deleting groups which are inactive for 90 days, so the old group might disappear from Yahoo!'s servers within the next few months -- hence the reason for the creation of this archive.
A lot of deYahoo!ification of these HTML files remains to be done by myself or others, if they are to be tidied up, but I thought them to be worth publishing in their current form, right now, just in case no one else bothers to do the same thing, before the old group disappears for good.
Whilst I have no present intention of removing these files from my webspace any time soon, I urge members of the group to make independent backups of them, just in case.
A zip archive of the files can be found here: shaviangrouparchive.zip (just over 3 megabytes)
