R-help archives --- are they up-to-date?

Tue, Jan 29, 2013 1:28 PM

The searchable archives may lag, and apparently do. The main list
archive is here:

https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/

and is complete. That's the one to check if you wish to know whether
something made it to the list.

If you go to the r-help listinfo link in the mailing list footer, you
are directed to the link I posted, and the searchable archive is also
mentioned.

It's always possible to check the Archives for this question.

This prompted me to ask about a problem that has been bothering me
for a while:  When I go to "Search" on the R web page and then click on

Searchable mail archives <http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/%7Erking/R/>
of the three mailing lists are provided by Robert King at the
University of Newcastle, Australia.

I find that the archives appear to end at 31 January 2012.  If I click
on, say

2012: April to June <http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e18/help/>

I get the response "The future isn't here yet".  Well, yes, it isn't.
But in my
limited understanding April to June 2012 is in the past, not the future.  Am
I doing something wrong, or is something broken in my system, or does
this happen to others as well?  Just in case it's of any relevance:
