Protect it, and the password can be freely distributed on the list. Yes anybody can sign up, but being full searchable and indexed by google is another thing.

I do try my hardest to stay politically correct though.

We are using "Mailman", a very popular list manager for *nix that has been around for years and years. It has a lot more options, and puts the user more in control of the experience. With the old system, you were either subscribed to the list or to the digest, and the only option you had was to unsubscribe if you wanted to change. The new system will let you change your options on the fly. It also has the ability to Disable Mail Sending. If you go on vacation, and don't want to see the messages clogging up your phone/Inbox, you can disable your e-mail delivery, without unsubscribing. Then, when you return just re-enable delivery. To Subscribe / Un-Subscribe / Edit Options: http://www.tech-geeks.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech-geeks Enter your subscribed e-mail address at the very bottom of the page, and click the "Unsubscribe or Edit Options" button. The List Archive is available here: http://www.tech-geeks.org/pipermail/tech-geeks/ The archive is searchable, and it is fast. One thing I noticed is that you have to be specific in your search criteria. A search for "fog" pulls 111 results, while a search for "fog laptop" pulls 19 results. Also, the system is slowly importing the historical archive from the old server as well. It will take awhile for the process to complete, but when it is done, we should have a pretty complete searchable archive (that is actually usable).
