A couple of points others have made that I just want to restate:
1. APO-L is a completelely public list. Anyone may subscribe to it.
Anyone who looks at the list of public listserv lists will see that APO-L
exists. We've had people from service organizations in other countries sub
to the list in the past.
2. APO-L is already archived and those archives are available to anyone
subscribed to the list. The archives are searchable with the LISTSERV
search tools but they are *extremely* hard to use. The archives are
currently kept on-line for about 9 months (it depends on the disk
utilization levels at Purdue). I've got a near complete copy of the list
archives I keep off-line.
The advantage of letting this service archive APO-L is that the info posted
to the list will be available for longer and in a more convienent to access
form.
The disadvantage of letting this service archive APO-L is that the info
posted to the list will be available for longer and in a more convienent to
access form.
The feedback I've gotten is decidely mixed.
And one more point:
How come far more people have posted about this potential list archiving
than have said anything about the legislative proposals? In fact, I don't
remember seeing a single post about the legislative proposals. Have
chapters actually received them yet?
