Yes, I noticed that after studying it for a while.

I’ve found a solution which is much simpler.
<?php query_posts('showposts=10000'); ?>
<div class="archives">
<ul>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2></a>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
</div>
