How are you trying to use it? It's the way I find out how they spelled the name of some list I am looking for, including when I don't know if it is Member or Public. I can usually guess enough of a substring of the list name to find the list quickly in this listing. I can quickly scan all lists with 'dom' in their name and pick the one I want. I also operationally use the URL path hierarchy in getting there. I go in my history list to either a Member or Public message page I visited, and truncate the URL to go to the index. Since I am doing this with character deletes in a command line, I get to http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ before I reach http://lists.w3.org/Archives/ and so I never get to the latter (where I get a 403 error anyway). since the former gets me what I want.
