When I used the URL you offered to the Gmane website, both the RSS  
feeds and the web interface links were as current as Gmane ever is.  
Furthermore when I also look at the link entitled "Original list  
archive", it too is also up-to-date. You seem to have managed to  
choose the only link on the entire Gmane r.general  page that has an  
out-of-date archive. It appears to be a link that is under the control  
of neither Gmane nor R-help. What can I say?

Patient: Doctor,  it hurts when I hit my hand with a hammer.
Doctor: Then don't do that.
