A cursory glance indicates this site seems comprehensive, in both
breadth and length, so to speak.

But you must bring your own search engine, because it offers no search
functionality.

I see no way to get the complete article in source format, i.e.
including the headers, or at least some of the headers. Or am I missing
something obvious?

Also e-mail addresses (and other info?) in posts are heavily munged,
including in attribution lines, which makes them basically useless:

"***@c*.****.**c.uk writes:"
