I don't think I would have SeaFrog were it not for this forum. And even if I did have it, I certainly wouldn't have her set up like she is today. Keep it open. My vote.

The archives helped to easily decide in favor of a Monty, and also how to get her in shape. Yes, yet another vote for archives! And thanks!

In the past, some members were very concerned that their postings were readable by non-members, so I closed the archives to public viewing and cancelled our searchable archives. I never quite understood the concern, since anyone can join the mailing and then read everything old and new, but that was what was wanted.
The question of searchable archives has come up again, so I'll ask the membership:
Would you like to have searchable archives if it means the archives are readable by anyone on the internet, including search engines?
As an example of what we could have, here is the main Lurker search engine page for Xmission hosted public lists;
