oh you really should SDSTFU. you do NOT know who you are talking to. lose the condescending crap with someone who has been programming, running a network, and other '1eet things longer than you've been out of diapers.
furthermore, doug participated in about two years of heated debate on the Bad Subjects list about whether to archive anything long term. so, those of us here from that debate know that doug knows full well how a significant number of us feel about these issues.
he was aware. furthermore, i've also told him frequently how we could use spidercide and how we can obscure the email addresses so we don't get spam.
but he just doesn't give a shit because he participates in some sort of warped bourgeois consciousness about his ownership of the list.
