of course, once one is on the right list, then one has access to
the archives, making the whole conversation, in the eyes of those
defending the policy, moot. hard to have a rational conversation
about the issue in that context.
Even being on the list ... it's a pain. Because to access the list
archives I have to remember my "list password", which is some randomly
generated string, which I never do so I always have to have it emailed
to me (I might be able to change it, but clearly it's stored in
plaintext because it always gets emailed back to me, so I don't want
to make it something I remember). I mean, I don't get it ... why not
make them public? I'm on a number of closed lists that require manual
approval to join, but the archives are still public.
