The thing is, that some of the more technical things that get discussed
would quite simply not be understandable to some people.  To be blunt
however, those particular topics are only understood by about a quarter
of the list anyway, and it varies as to which quarter understands it.
:P We don't refuse each other access to the information. ^_^

The choice to open access to the archives is not just a matter of
technical prowess.  

We would like the list easily accessable to those who wish to do so.
The ability to link directly to an article can be of much use at times.
Also, like was already said: Google! :P

^_^

And for those few poor unfortunates who truly can't figure out how to
get into the archives from the web page, the archives have that
information too. >:P
