I agree, it’s a good idea. And it’s easy enough to get a free account if
you don’t already have one

Dear list members,
Since the beginning, the archives for this list have been public. This
was an effort to make information easier to search, to find, to link to,
and to share. However, the days of free information online have changed.
AI bots are now scraping the web for data to train on and privacy is more
of an issue.
As we move to groups.io, Chris and I would like to make the archives
private. The biggest reasons are member privacy and to protect us from
AI training/scraping. This means that you’ll need a free account on the
new site to view the archives.
We feel this is a good change for our community. Since the only barrier
to the archives would be subscribing, we think this is a reasonable trade
off between privacy and accessibility.
If you have concerns about this change, please reply! (Once we make the
archives at groups.io private, we cannot make them public again later.)
Thank you,
Seth & Chris
