Re: [sudo-discuss] Michael Orange - film events - Battle for Brooklyn - any sudo members interested in an intro?

Yeah i want to put in my vote as not sympathetic with Anon195's outrage. I'm sympathetic with 'being mad at onesself for overlooking something obvious,' but not with feeling tricked. Dude, literally every email you get is two links away from the public archive!!! Moreover, aren't mailing lists like the first thing the internet had? One of the first things I ever read on the internet were mailing/ discussion list archives about ska music. I generally expect to be able to read the archives of any list I'm on or interested in, which means I expect them to be public and searchable. If this was a list for grandmas I would maybe feel like it had a duty to be super explicit, it could assume its members knew nothing about the internet or how to use links, but this is a hackerspace email list. If you guys want to make the archives private that's ok because it's easy to sign up for the list.
