No -- their official policy is that if a list is open for subscription (anyone can sign up, without having to be approved by the list-owner), then they feel that it is a public list and they can include it at gmane.org without asking. In other words, they confuse subscription mode with availability of archives, subscriber list etc. Thomas Gramstad [EMAIL PROTECTED]
