Well, I don't know how you managed to post to the llg-board list, which is only supposed to be open to Board members %^) So maybe it hasn't been. If you are referring to the very old archives, until a few years ago the main mailing list was on Yahoo, and was subject to all the benefits and weaknesses of Yahoo lists with respect to spammers. They tightened their policy on email addresses in public archives just about the time we went to a separate archive on lojban.org, followed a year or two later by moving the entire list to lojban.org. Lojban List is echoed to yahoo now, but on their archives, email addresses are removed or truncated. lojbab
