Yes, I am. I tire of the near-constant beating I personally get for
"shutting down" sounder however, so I saw your mail and thought "jeez,
not again" and ignored it. That's right, I ignored it. I read it,
digested it and ignored it.

Great, so request one. I have given you the address via which you can
request it. Fill your boots, not my inbox.

In the previous thread you quoted. You started a NEW question in an
EXISTING thread.

This was a tip referring to the post you made in the other thread.

You are misguided. I could subscribe a bot to this list (or any other
mailman list) and gate the contents to a publicly accessible web page.

I too am on some privately archived lists. However once in a while
someone signs up to the list with a bot account which captures the
contents and puts it online. This is what I was referring to.
