imho, secure it now and ask questions later before the google spiders
get in there.
Like someone else said earlier,..I use my Email client to archive
everything in a search enabled database.

It looks like I can change the archive to a Private Archive. Then to
view it, users would have to login with their subscribed e-mail address,
and their list password. This is different for every user, and the main
listinfo page will send you your password, if you don't have one (and
let you change it).
This may actually be more secure than what I was thinking... but, it
looks like it's about 2 clicks. That's a lot easier for me to
implement. :)
Other thoughts??

someone could build a profile of info on some of us over time based on
scanning through the archives with Google (or other) serach engines. Just a
thought.

does google pay attention to robots.txt files? Is there any interest in
password protecting the archive with some generic password? That would keep
out a robot.

Just a though, is there a way (or a desire) to prevent Google from
indexing that archive?

Subject: [tech-geeks] About the New List Manager
Here's a little info about the new List Manager software. We are
using "Mailman", a very popular list manager for *nix that has been
around for years and years.
It has a lot more options, and puts the user more in control of the
experience. With the old system, you were either subscribed to the
list or to the digest, and the only option you had was to unsubscribe
if you wanted to change.
The new system will let you change your options on the fly. It also
has the ability to Disable Mail Sending. If you go on vacation, and
don't want to see the messages clogging up your phone/Inbox, you can
disable your e-mail delivery, without unsubscribing. Then, when you
return just re-enable delivery.
To Subscribe / Un-Subscribe / Edit Options:
http://www.tech-geeks.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech-geeks
Enter your subscribed e-mail address at the very bottom of the page,
and click the "Unsubscribe or Edit Options" button.
The List Archive is available here:
http://www.tech-geeks.org/pipermail/tech-geeks/
The archive is searchable, and it is fast. One thing I noticed is
that you have to be specific in your search criteria.
A search for "fog" pulls 111 results, while a search for "fog laptop"
pulls 19 results.
Also, the system is slowly importing the historical archive from the
old server as well. It will take awhile for the process to complete,
but when it is done, we should have a pretty complete searchable
archive (that is actually usable).
Thanks,
Abe
