well, to be precise, the list of LAD hosts:

  - 1998-2001: ginette.musique.umontreal.ca (Alex Burton)
               (e.g. http://lalists.stanford.edu/lad/1998/0007.html)
  - 2001-2007: music.columbia.edu (Douglas Repetto, Jörn Nettingsmeier)
 	      http://lalists.stanford.edu/lad/2001/May/0596.html
  - 2007-....: lists.linuxaudio.org (Marc-Olivier Barre)
 	      http://lalists.stanford.edu/lau/2007/02/0828.html

The last two hosts have maintained their own web archives for lists. Then 
we additionally have various other 3rd party archives around the web.

Anyways, the original host at umontreal.ca did not provide a list archive. 
So in March 2000 I volunteered to set up and host the archive (with an 
address-mangling script from Paul Winkler that is still in use ;)):

   http://lalists.stanford.edu/lad/2000/Mar/0002.html

... in 2004, I couldn't anymore provide the bandwidth for the archive:

   http://lalists.stanford.edu/lad/2004/10/0148.html

But Fernando offered to host the pages and thus the pages moved to 
'lalists.stanford.edu/la*'. So these still combine the archives spanning 
all three list hosts. But like in 2004, I'm happy to get rid of the 
archive maintenance. :) And agreed, the best solution is to merge the 
archives with those already at lists.linuxaudio.org.

Now, I can upload the hypermail created html tree (of certain 
years/months) to lists.linuxaudio.org, but mboxes will require more effort 
(there is no clean set of mbox files for the whole archive, but the 
archive has been created from personal mbox folders from various people 
and I don't have the full set at hand -- I can try to dig it up though).

Thanks, updated.
