FYI, for those who care about such things, this list is being tracked by http://www.mail-archive.com/. Sorry for the duplicate info if this was mentioned before.
Why should you care? Such tracking is easy fodder for e-mail address harvesters. BAD Tracking services make web search of the list easy. GOOD Personally, I have other ways of checking the archives, so I prefer to NOT have the list tracked nor peered to NetNews. But I must confess that I have used such services. -- R;
