Thanks for the report.  I discovered that it was trying to assign a
number to your RCR by adding 1 to the previous number -- but since
yours was the first, it tried to query the number of nil and bombed.

I'm sorry you're finding the new process unappealing.  The basics of
it -- the starting again, the separate mailing lists, and so forth --
are all things that Matz asked me to implement.  I'm really no more
qualified to discuss them than anyone else (other than Matz), and I'm
not going to make changes except at Matz's direction.  So ultimately
you'll have to talk to him.  I'd suggest giving it a(nother :-) try,
though.  I definitely want the whole thing to go smoothly and will try
to make sure that it does.

The other thing I will do in short order is make the old archive
available, on a read-only basis.  I also have to do RSS feeds, as Tim
Bray mentioned.
