This is how I’m viewing a lot of this too.  It’s like the posts on stack exchange et al, Reddit, and various forums that are just closed with “fixed” and no details or follow up.

Kinda defeats the whole purpose of a mailing list with an archive since the same questions can come up again and again and no actual answers to the questions.
