Wonderful, I've added you to the list and you'll get my next status

So, yes, I've a couple of reasons for that. The first one is that I
don't see the list as a real discussion list, but more like as a role
alias with an easy way for people to join it. To that end, the archive
is not strictly needed.
Additionally, I'd like to preserve the list as a welcoming/friendly
place (and all initial volunteers agree with that); if we are ever gonna
get some trolling around, I'd like that not to be publicly archived and
pointed out as "see how unfriendly they are".
It is true that we might lose some past work in not having an archive,
but I don't expect posters to check the archive anyhow, at optimum I
want them to check *doc* first and I don't think the list archive should
be a substitute for that (and not having it would help in not exchanging
one for the other).
Anyhow, I don't have any strong opinion on this, just a preference.
Thanks for your feedback!
Cheers.
