I honestly don't see how an e-list is going to "raise awareness" of anyone
who isn't already interested in polyamory-- and if they are, there are lots
better ways to learn about it than whatever is randomly being posted here.
A UUPoly website, with appropriate articles, links, etc., would be *far*
more effective than keeping the archives of this list public.  If there are
threads from this list that are particularly illuminating, they could be
posted on the website as well (after asking permission of the participants,
of course).  

As has been pointed out, all anyone has to do who is interested in the
archives is to join the list.  Keeping them private just avoids "drive-by"
searches by random people who probably don't even know what they are
searching at first.


I see this a much more of a support list for UU polyfolk, and as such, think
the archives should be private.
