I must say I have never looked at the archives and can't see much use in having them... I do appreciate and understand that certain parties may find them useful and if they are there for the common good I am prepared to accept the resultant spam. But I would like to know if they are actually so useful... does anyone actually use the archives? Maybe JMR could archive them privately and only dig out messages on request? If there was a dispute about what was said for example... Or maybe there is some way of archiving messages while automatically deleting or shortening the poster's email address? Sure anybody *could* choose to arichive the messages but whether they do so is another matter. I doubt it.
