user> mail-archive? are you crazy? that site has been around forever & I’ve found more answers there than I can count.
you> What mailing lists are you finding useful on mail-archive that aren’t available elsewhere? Do you ever visit mail-archive directly? I’ve only seen mail-archive clutter up SERP pages, often with the question I have going unanswered. I see no point in duplicating content on Google Groups, only with a significantly worse UI.
The point is, they are all doing the same. mail-archive, osdir, markmail archive mail, place ads next to them. Some provide more features on top but the main idea is archive public content and make money out of it.
You can always use gmane to search apache archives, at least it is ad free.
I have not noticed ads on markmail. I was mostly surprised people are advocating blocking markmail because I've seen it linked to often by the Apache project sites:
