Hi, I still wonder about the archieves. May be, I'm not completely up to date, putting just the same questions, as somebody did just before. - But I still didn't get, why the archieves can be found and accessed by google. Or is this just something, which is planned? I mean, archieves can be very interesting for a community. But the so called "container" , the "skin" , the "whomb" with the "cellular compound", the baby inside has to be respected also. To me, it's very important, to know about. Not, because it bothers me personally. But it's just important, to know about who in this is list is feeling like to do what?-I know some archetypes of interests, but not much more...but to know, whether finally this becomes a "tabu", just represented by having more "lurkers", or whether there is a true consensus in the community, to me it's important.-So, finally, I'd like to know about the problems quality: Is it a technical problem, or is it a decission - problem?
If it is something to be decided, where is a statement in favor of why the archieves should be opened to anybody, even not being in the list? -To me, It would be, like taking away the protecting skin, even if I have not the slightest problem about, for eg, making jokes on "W"'s..being found later at somebodies webpage.. But, may be, there are some convincing arguments also? Besides, dealing with container-images: It's also important, that the "mother" feels good. If the mother doesn't feel good, the baby neither won't..But who is who in this case ? <grin> If it is not, then, why it's not just possible, to maintain the archieves protected by a simple password, like it's usual in many lists? If somebody wants to make for eg a research, he can ask, simply.. Or, is it some problem, wich the "boisy"-staff is not able to solve, actually? And what would be necessary to resolve it? I'd love to be enabled to get some clear opinion about the issue .-)) With passionate interest in this list Nicolai * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu, Visit: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html
