> I don't think a private email group really exist. > > Vasile A 100% private list, probably not. But that doesn't mean we (PICListers and Admins) can't do our best to keep it private. " The content of this site is a valuable collection of the intellectual property of many authors. It is a challenge to protect this property while at the same time making it freely available and still rewarding the authors in order to encourage them to continue contributing. Non-members are excluded from some content which is collected automatically (e.g. mailing list archives) and which may contain personal information (such as email addresses) which WILL be protected. If you are willing to identify yourself, you can access that content. If you try to mine, snag, copy, or crawl the site, you will find that it knows what you are doing and will protect itself and its authors. " direct quote from www.piclist.com. Note that I'm not saying that the PIClist should aim for 100% secrecy (how possible is that, anyway?-) I'm bringing the list's attention on this website. To my knowledge it isn't one of the official PICLIST mirrors. Christian P.S. you should preserve the tag ([OT] in this case) when replying... there's a "receive untagged emails" option for the mailing list that is off by default (IIRC). Plus, it's easier to filter & sort. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
