Well; someone just told me I was mistaken and that wasn't the reason. Sorry!
For some reason I have a note in my records about the incident I was
thinking of leading to the archive closure, but no idea why now :s
Again; sorry for the confusion!

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.

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

I think Mike can answer a few of these questions, but he's extremely
busy over the weekend with conferences etc.

I just subscribed
a new email address and I was able to read the
archives immediately.
