By whom, and on whose advice? Why weren't the subscribers to this list informed?

I don't expect you'll be able to answer those questions, Tom, but they're worth asking.

Well, as no one has answered...

It's related to an incident not long ago where there was a complaint over a message posted here about a named individual (not going to rehash that whole issue). The message was objected to (very strongly) and the archives were made subscriber only; I guess to mitigate the matter (and obviously avoid future incidents of the same type).

I'm sure others can fill in more details than I can. Just answering the basic question.

Is there any possibility of having question answered?

I am somewhat dissapointed at this list no longer being publically archived.
