at first I thouught 'ooh an archive .. thats kewl'
then someone mentioned it was a public archive, outside our control ...
'uhh oh! I don't like that! .. I mean I could say somethng about someone
and they could find it and .. eeughhhh'
and then I thought 'but .. on the other hand the person could be
subscribed RIGHT NOW anyway .. so i guess it makes no difference.. mean
what you say and say what you mean. so .. an archive .. kewl :)'
I must admit I don;t particularly like the idea of someone else holding
this info though .. I mean .. its like 'ours' innit .. but i have no
objection to an archive per-se, even a public one.
