Being a farmer is questionable enough these days. (Please note the FBI post I put up here a couple of days ago.) MANY people I talk to at conferences have told me that they do not want to associate their names with their ideas in such a public place.
This is a different form of self-protection than what you fear is undoable. We can buffer ourselves in this fashion.
My primary goal is to make people comfortable to share their experiences and feelings with each other.

I'm not sure of the difference between "member oriented" and "public" archive. Would this require registration/password or a membership fee?
How do we protect ourselves from all this anyways, unless you're going to totally subvert your personality i.e. never say what you think, don't buy any books or magazines or use websites that aren't govt. approved and for heaven's sake, don't go to a peace rally, they're filming you. (I actually got videotaped at a pitiful little fishermen's rights "protest" - they were ten of us, including my dog.)
Some posting reticence may come from lack of BD experience. And I guess some of us are questioners and some are sponges.
