Folks,

As you know, list mails are systematically archived at the following  
URL:

          http://lists.thomasclausen.net/mailman/private/olympus/

Access to these archives are, currently, list-members-only, protected  
by the list member passwords (see previous emails on how to get one,  
if you've lost yours).

Occasionally, "services" such as nabble.com is trying to subscribing  
to the list, and archive mails elsewhere -- and, presumably, make  
those available to the general public.

Currently, I am blocking such subscription requests (some,  
automatically, some manually). I do this for the following reasons:

        o       there's already a list-archive, accessible to list members

        o       as we do not control these other "archive" sites, we do not 
know  
if sufficient
                measures to counter "address harvesting" and spam are in place

        o       this list has been announced as with "private archives" since 
we  
moved hosting

I'm open to compelling arguments and if there's rough consensus on  
the list to change the policy then we can. However for now, this is  
the policy that I'm (trying to) ensure, and I wanted to be  
transparent on this matter. (And, I appreciate a heads up if I've  
missed a such "service" being subscribed).

Cheers,

List-Mum
