The problem I see with this service is that APO-L is intended as a private
discussion list for Alpha Phi Omega business matters. Letting this group
archive our list and make it PUBLICLY available on their site, basically
makes anything and everything that has ever been said on APO-L available to
the public and accessible via any search engine they provide. I do not
believe that the fraternity needs this service, nor do I think that
brothers want this information as widespread as this service will put it.
Besides, most of the important information is available on Fuzz's World
Wide Web pages anyway :-)
