Everyone forgets from time to time. Many never check. 
       

I never check.  I Google instead.  I tried checking list archives a long
time ago and found it terribly inefficient.  Is there some other 
efficient way to search lists.debian.org that I don't know about?
   

Yeah, googling with an additional qualitifer of "site:lists.debian.org"
or something like that.  The disadvantage is that you don't get
the ability to search on date ranges and stuff like that, which
using the search engine provided by Debian for the mailing lists
gives you. 

Actually I have not been there for a while and had not seen the somewhat 
subtle link:
Our list archives can also be searched 
<http://lists.debian.org/search.html>.  That's why I asked.  I now have 
that page bookmarked and I will start using it.

The advantage is that Google finds a lot of stuff
that the Debian search engine misses.
But either way, do search the lists, even if it seems inefficient for
you, as an act of kindness/respect towards the people you'd like to
help you.
 

That's never been the issue.  I actually have a rather large collection 
of email from each of the Debian lists I am subscribed to and I can 
search those locally with Thunderbird which I do before posting about 
anything I think might have been discussed.

Thanks,
Paul
