Are there other folks on this list who would prefer that the archives only
be available to list members?  Are there people who strongly prefer they be
public?  I wrote the listowner about this a bit ago based on my own concern
and he said I was the first person who ever asked..

Let's try having people reply privately to me at catya [at] homeport.org?  I'm
happy to tally and repost.

Thanks,
