The "original" LAD list until 2002 server. Since then, they keep
backup-copies of all list emails; subscription there is no longer possible.

@Nando: on http://lalists.stanford.edu/ "website" links should point to
http://lists.linuxaudio.org

lad.linuxaudio.org is horribly out of date. It's only 14 static html
pages and worthwhile content from there should be moved to the wiki.

Alike apps & wiki, lad.linuxaudio.org will become an entry point to the
wiki and the current lad-vhost will go off-line.
Only http://lad.linuxaudio.org/events/ - which hosts the LAC video
archive - will remain (as redirect to lac.linuxaudio.org).

http://lists.linuxaudio.org/ is the main resource, we should always link
there.

The drupal-module at www.linuxaudio.org is a wrapper around
lists.linuxaudio.org. It provides RSS and ATOM feeds and the swishmail
search is kind of handy. The /mailarchive/ just comes with it. There's
a gazillion others fi. gmane.org, mail-archive.com, marc.info, etc. etc.

It's the mailarchive drupal module - same as on kerneltrap.org. lkml has
much more traffic, which justified the hardcoded daily-thread-view for
that module. I do not know if mailarchive version 6.x fixes this
shortcoming. We're still running a rather old version of this module.
Upgrading/Improving this is quite a bit of work.
