They are public *within the context of the ongoing discussions on the list*. Since they are now in this archive, they are in Google *absent context*. But the real issue is that someone is republishing content on which I hold the copyright, all of my posts. Some of these sites are selling ads, and making a profit. > I'm not arguing in favor of these archive sites (though I do like the > search capabilities), I'm just saying that it doesn't matter to me > because it doesn't expose anything that wasn't already exposed. If you > disagree with this assessment, I'd be interested in hearing why. It's unethical, and possible constitutes copyright infringement (very likely, I'd say). It's definitely not within the terms of use of the list as I understand them (explicit or implicit). It's certainly at odds with the policy that the list's own archives are open only to list subscribers. -- David W.
