Then so is every single tech help list with public archives. Or every 
single email list with public archives. I'm subscribed personally to 
scores of them, and those lists are a tiny fraction of all of them. 
Some of them have been in existence before the web. I can't figure out 
why you keep harping on an issue like this that is not at all unique to 
FreeBSD, nor even open source. Why don't you head over to some other 
tech lists for a while and complain about this?

Say, have you read over the legal documents pertaining to when DejaNews 
and later Google archived Usenet? It would be educational for you to 
peruse them.

Yes, but you're not a lawyer, yet you persist in talking about these 
matters as if you had some authority.

I hate to bring up the old cliche ... but, seriously, Anthony, most of 
what you do here is spread:

Fear
Uncertainty
Doubt

Anyway, I'll leave you guessing at what he said. But, just to give you a 
hint, he was laughing when he said it.
