Mmm, maybe best would to publish them on a web page somewhere, not in mbox format, and probably with email addresses scrambled for good measure. I am not sure i want stuff i posted in confidence made public, not sure though, as i don't remember all i have posted there 3 years ago. I doubt any is of public interest anyway, so the point should be moot. > Anyway, from my perspective, all we're doing is putting in place a > mechanism whereby useful parts of -private can be made publicly > available.
