Christiane- Not official, but Rick Ellis is listed as the owner of the spinics.net domain and also as a subscriber to this list. It looks to me like a private archive for his own use. Posts to mailing lists are quite public, and tend to be more or less haphazardly preserved all over the net, something that people tend to either not know, or forget! I don't quite understand why people put archives like this in public accessible web space. Sooner or later it seems to come to the notice of the people being archived and generally provokes a less than favorable reaction. There was an incident on the StreetPhoto list where someone was archiving messages from that list on a quasi-commercial site and got roundly jumped on. It seems like poor netiquette, especially when you can do the same thing on your own hard drive, presumably much more cheaply...(wicked laugh!!)...
