Hi List,

This is in response to the thread here:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/loco-contacts/2009-June/003223.html . I
discovered this thread by googling my own domain and joined in order to
offer a response.

I suppose first I should provide an answer to the #1 question: No, I am not
a spammer.  All of the incoming mail is routed through Postini and I'm using
reCAPTCHA extensively to block email address harvesting from the site.  This
is a project that's been in the works for a while now and over the last
couple of weeks the details have been settling down (some have noticed that
the subscription address has changed from the original one) and as of today
it's publicly viewable.  This link might be particularly amusing:
http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/I9O5CeqRI4D3hghJJfGQ (may need to
wait for the DNS record to update)

My goal with this project is to ultimately be more useful and intuitive to
human readers than the "official" archives usually are.  It's got a long way
to go, but hopefully you'll agree that's it's at least *sort of* useful
already.

List admins are of course free to unsubscribe themselves or block the
domain, but I hope you'll find at least some value in it and choose not to.
Mail to the archiver address is processed automatically and I won't read it,
but you can mail me personally at orange at archiveorange.com, or reply to me
here.

Answers to anticipated FAQ:
1. No, I am not a spammer.
2. No, I am still not a spammer.
3. Yes, I would love to hear your feedback.
4. Python.

Jamie
