Hmm...Googling for the mailing list name? Or Googling for what you're having a problem with in the first place...you know, what is advised as a good first step in the first place...and seeing, in the results, messages contained in the archives? I'd normally stop and think that maybe that would mean that postings would appear in the archive. Some people apparently wouldn't put 2 and 2 together and need to resort to hiding behind legalese to protect themselves from the onslaught of common sense or personal responsibility. > The damage of a lawsuite can be large to the BSD society.
