My strong feeling still is that the archives should, after a period, be
re-opened. I am very uncomfortable with any permanent battening-down of
the list, which I feel is against the spirit of free discussion, and I
think on this we should bite the bullet and say we are for the free
rather than actions based on fear and defensiveness, or on the logic of
corporate pragmatism.
We are after all a community of poets, not of spooks or businesspersons.
Or at least, I hope so!
Best wishes to all
Alison
