False. The reason is that people can post
entirely reasonable things on
these lists and employers can then be hyper-discriminative about their
personal interests and choose not to hire them, or to fire them.
Pity they're all over gmane and nabble, then.
Suggestion: a Google search on gmane and/or nabble linked from the
archive pages.

Yes, those sites fail to respect robots.txt and have the outrageous policy
that they will only withhold emails from their archive that have the
X-No-Archive header in them. Which you, as a gmail user, could not possibly
include in one of your e-mails unless you used a very new feature which
allows you to host your own smtp server and route messages through that.
Furthermore it's a double standard that the foundation makes the list
archives available to non-members but they "agree" with the logic of putting
the lists in robots.txt exclusion.
