[WikiEN-l] That random number

[Delirium]

Excessive avoidance of activities that are not likely to result in legal 
troubles, but which some people irrationally fear might, is pretty much 
the definition of "chilling effects" style paranoia.

Seriously, do you think *mailing list archives*, and 
non-search-engine-indexed ones at that, are actually illegal?  It's not 
even clear that such archives legally constitute publication, and 
certainly they are far less high profile than many other sources that 
have *not* been held legally accountable in any way, such as Google's 
own archives, or Wired's explicit publication.
