Check the Prodig Guidelines under which we all post.
"USAGE RIGHTS
Participants who post to this list grant rights to the list owner to include their posts in a searchable archive and grant permission to use the posts solely as part of a complete list archive in other mediums."
How legal - I know not - but it's there in writing - and we list mums refer each and every new subscriber (and many others!) to the guidelines on a regular basis. So there's no excuse for not knowing the conditions under which you post.
