I often use the archives to find old informations that would have been announced at a certain period, for example, announcement of the schedule of an old tour 4 years ago, sales results from 3 years ago and so on... usually I know approximately my search period so it's faster to view subjects made in this 1-3 month period than to check back all entries having the "annoucement" tag ^_^'

Nope, the Links code space doesn't accommodate that much code. But at least I've learned something, so thanks for that.
