Steph and others,

At the moment the FTP link isn't working, but Liz's archives are normally
available to the whole world. I don't want to sound paranoid, but you should
never, ever assume that what you write on a list is private. Anything that
is stored anywhere on the Web is accessible by someone, somewhere, even if
it's password-protected. Neither archive is truly protected. If an Arachne
is going through a messy custody battle in court and wants to confide to the
list about substance abuse problems, then it's wise to use an alias or first
name only.

Yahoogroups, BTW, does offer the option of making archives accessible to
members only, but that should not be considered real protection, because
anyone can join a group as long as its membership isn't "closed." I've
accessed archives during Web searches for groups that I don't belong to.

Best wishes,

Avital
Arachne moderator
