It seems to me that it would be best to move into a more 'member oriented' archive instead of a public archive.When I joined the list I was astonished to find its archives are in the public domain for everyone to see. This is not the usual practice for mailing lists and I would always vote for archives to be accessible by members only. Otherwise there is always a risk that an innocent remark may be taken out of context by someone and used maliciously.
The major purpose of this list is to speak openly and to share our experiences in some fairly unusual realms.
I think everyone is feeling this shyness. I think this holding back is hurting the list.
What say, folks?
By all means take the archives out of the public arena, Allan, even though it is quite likely some 'friendly' agency already has a copy. The action will at least protect future posts.
