Re: [UUPoly-L] A concern from a little research

Wow.  I don't know of any other list that has *public* archives.  Many have
archives that are "public" in the sense that they are restricted to members,
and anyone can join-- but that is *very* different to my mind than "public"
in the sense that it would show up on a google search by someone who might
not even know that the list existed!

Is there any way to have the archives restricted to members?  I see no
benefit to having them open to casual searchers.
