Hi Peter... When you say it wound up on google groups.. Do you have a link?
Google spiders the mailing list archive on on ethernal.org up till Jully 2015 (Not sure why it no longer gets updated) but apart from that there is no automatic process by which google nicks stuff and puts it anywhere. Their business is about indexing stuff in place, and providing archive access, while the source is still there. They never claim to 'own' anything they index as such. I'm guessing someone joined a group email to the list, or someone manually forwarded/copied and pasted the post. For the post to have your email still intact it has to have come from a list member, the online archive copies are anonymised (Unless you post your email address in the body that is... As for Google giving two bits about a copyright notice, you might be outa luck there. :-) Cheers, Chris H.
