<br><br>I don&#39;t see any reason to have private archiving, but while I&#39;m going<br>through the preferences, thought I&#39;d bring it up.</blockquote><div><br>If I may share my experience within the French chapter : a closed moderated low-traffic list reserved to members of the chapter can really be helpful if all the members are automatically subscribed to the list. Such a list is useful when the board needs to reach all members for important internal messages. And an open public high-traffic mailing list is useful too for general discussions. So I would say: keep this general list public, and you may in the future create a closed mailing list for members.
