Hi,
I've just finished updating all the archives - basically the entire Vol. 4 to date. See http://www.contrabass.com/contra-archive/c-arch4.html for the index page.
I seem to recall having a few issues in between Vol. 2 and Vol. 4 (corresponding to the gap between when we used SmartList as our list software, and before we got PostOffice going. At the moment, I can only find one 1 digest. Makes for a rather thin volume. Does anyone else still have copies of any other "Vol. 3" digests lying around?
Thanks,
Grant
