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
