electorama.com has had some problems with its mailing list 
administration lately. First the election-methods list disappeared from 
http://lists.electorama.com/listinfo.cgi some years ago, and then this.

http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/ 
states

"Note:The archive search index was last rebuilt at Friday, 29 Sep 2017 
21:39:45 PDT. Any postings after that will not be found by a search. 
Index rebuild is usally done once every 24 hours for this list. You can 
use a "View by date" link below to access more recent postings. "

So it seems like some kind of scheduled program has stopped working.

Since the electorama server has had problems in the past as well, it 
might be an idea to move it elsewhere... Same with the electorama wiki; 
both could use some maintenance, it seems like; although I haven't 
recently checked if the TeX problem has been fixed.

On-topic, it could be interesting to have a proof of what kind of 
chain/DAG methods satisfy LIIA. LIIA doesn't have to imply clone 
independence because Kemeny passes the former and fails the latter, at 
least.
