Hi Dana. It was not too long ago that I sent my occasional message to the list trying to remind folks of the public nature of its archives. I have pasted it below.

Please note that the only list I maintain that has private archives is the RE-Bitching list. While anything goes on that list, its original intent was to be a place where Wrenches could let off steam without fear of public notice or, more importantly, discuss anything that is off topic for this list.

Anyway, here is what I posted (and was apparently not well-heeded) last Jan. 16.

In fact, the other day I was doing some research via Google and turned up one of the messages on this list. Not sure how that happened, as the list is supposed to exclude search engines, but it does point out that we should not assume privacy.
