If you do that people new to the hobby or curious about a specific vehicle
can't get to the posts for research and general info.
I found the lists before I found MVPA, by doing a search on M35A2.
Are you listening MVPA?

Restrict the archives to list members. That way the robots can't troll
there because it requires a login.
Are you listening, Arthur??

Do a search on rmgill@mindspring.com on google. You'll get stuff I've posted
going back to 1993 or so. It's kind of a standard problem of posting on the
internet.
The archives of the info from the list are pretty nice, but the problem as
you see is that people can read those and grab e-mail addresses. More often,
the bad problems result from what are known as robots or spiders crawling
and harvesting e-mail addresses for spam. Given how I posted on Usenet back
in the day, I've receive tons of spam every day. Kind of goes with the
territory.

Up to the List Admin. We might be able to get them to munge the e-mail
addresses on the arcives.

1. Get a better spam filter to weed out the typical spam.
2. Post to the list with a different e-mail address if you chose to change
it.
The problem with #2 is that even if you change your e-mail address, all it
takes is one nasty employee at your ISP to sell the complete list of email
accounts to a spammer and your new e-mail addy is out there. I've got one
I've not used for a single email and I receive spam on it daily.
