What makes you think they aren't subscribed to the list and scraping that way,
or that they couldn't work around it. I suppose my question is, whats the
point of password protecting the archives if you aren't also going to
password protect the list itself.
Moreover, it's all posted on Nabble as well, which gets indexed by Google,
which has a far higher percentage of non-security-minded individuals.
