Imagine you search for a solution to a very annoying bug in your favorite program. Now imagine you find someone posting on a mailing list with a link to the solution/a patch/something that solves your problem. Imaginary problem solved.

If there were some kind of tinyurlarchive.org, you could solve your problem again.
