Hi Mike,
As I just sent out re:Migdia, it states on the sign up page for the list "To see the collection of prior postings to the list,
visit the Gendergap
Archives."[1] Unless we chose to make this a close list, that is
by approved subscription only (like internal-l[2] or cultural
partners[3]), it will still not remove the public content already on the
public web. And it would require community support for a closed list
(which I don't think is necessary, personally).
It's unfortunate if this will possibly change your participation on
the list from here on out, but, since the lists inception in February it
has been a public mailing list.

Is there no way to undo this, Nathan? Sarah? I will readily admit that
I DID NOT understand that posts to this list were public posts, and my
participation would have been shaped by such an awareness.
