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 <http://groups.io/> private, we cannot make them public again later.)
Thank you,
Seth & Chris
