Well, there's *supposed* to be some precaution taken, but for some reason
mailman is ignoring the list settings and I'm not entirely sure why. 
There's this and another proposal floating around, but my personal priority
list has had to change a fair bit in the past few months, so I won't be able
to look at the problem and find a safe solution 'till mid-January.

I should note, however, that very few of the linuxchix archives are
completely publically accessible.  Most are subscriber-only archives (and
grrls-only has no archives) so this is only a problem for a few lists, like
techtalk, that we want publically spidered as a resource.

Follow ups please ONLY to grrltalk.
