[prog] Administrativa: Archives of this list

[Mary]

Apologies to those who have already seen this on grrltalk, but for those 
who haven't yet. The wording in the FAQ is unclear, but discussions on 
the Volunteers list have indicated that this DOES apply to techtalk and 
programming.

Subject: ADMIN: Archiving grrltalk is FORBIDDEN

Hi,

<list admin hat ON>

Since a few external, unauthorised archives of grrltalk at linuxchix.org
are starting to show up on Google again, this is a reminder that
external archives of LinuxChix lists are FORBIDDEN.

This has been in our FAQs for some time:
http://www.linuxchix.org/content/docs/faqs/policy.html#id2801068

Yes, we've heard all the excuses and rationalisations before. We
appreciate that ultimately "there's nothing you can do to stop me NYAH
NYAH NYAH!" We do not consider that that is an adequate excuse for
archiving private mailing lists. If you are archiving LinuxChix mailing
lists on your own site, even if it is a single thread, your archive is
forbidden and you must take it down.

We will (after a warning) unsubscribe addresses that are suspected of
archiving LinuxChix messages off-site.

Apologies to the rest of the list. Unfortunately, it is really
 difficult to police this, since we need to allow the public to
 subscribe to our lists, and yet stop them taking the messages that
 legitimately arrive in their mailboxes and illegitmately putting them
 up on the web.
Unfortunately, you cannot trust all LinuxChix subscribers, and there is
no way we can enforce trustworthiness :(

If you find an external archive of a LinuxChix list on the web (or
elsewhere, such as someone mirroring our lists to Usenet), please
 report it to volunteers at linuxchix.org and we will attempt to get the
 owner to take it down.
