Re: [Thinkpad] Nabble

X-No-Archive:Yes

I am sorry, but I fail to see what the big deal is. The list is already
archived in more than one place and available to the entire internet
community. For all intents and purposes the information is "out there"
and there is not much hope that we can legally assert any rights to it.
On the other hand, we post here to help people solve problems, and the
more people we reach the better.

Some apparently object to the fact that Nabble is a commercial service,
as opposed to the other archive sites. I consider that no one is obliged
to visit their site and pay for their services. As to allowing people to
post through their site, that's a different question altogether and I am
sure Elijah has been following the developments closely to prevent any
abuse.
