To my mind leaving the archives public is tantamount to
inviting a complete stranger to sit in on a private
conversation and tape it - then publish it in the Times or
equivalent. Lurkers are bad enough, but inviting outsiders
to read what is meant for members only is a gross breach of
privacy. IMHO
And as for dropping in on other archives - do you read
private diaries too?
My comments here are for the list members - no-one else.
