I see no inconsistency. The archives are available only to list subscribers, the people that my posts are written for. The Opensubscriber.com archives are open to everyone. That's a completely different audience and I am *not* writing my posts for them. > After all, any of the people on this list -- the vast majority of whom > you don't know, and several of which are lurkers -- could take your > words, and redistribute them to whomever they like, without your > knowledge.

If someone did that without asking me, I'd be just as unhappy with it as I am with Opensubscriber.com. If I found out about it, I'd ask them to stop doing it, just as I've asked Opensubscriber.com to remove my posts from their archive. > > Again, I refer you to this URL, where certain issues are raised that > > I think people on this list should be concerned about (all on one > > line): > > > > http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2005_07/006691. > > php > > Yeah, and I can't get worked up about that, either.

I'm sure that's exactly what all the people thought who lost their jobs for misinterpretations of postings made in non-job-related forums. -- David W.
