Dear Douglas Rankine,
Welcome to the Internet!
Internet list archives are public. As such, they will be indexed and
searchable via such fine search engines as DDG, Ixquick and others.
No one asks for anyone's permission to forward or cross-post public
posts to other lists. This has been the way the Internet and newsgroups
have worked for 3+ decades. If this does not please you or meet your
expectations, please do not subscribe to public lists which clearly
indicate the posts and archives are public and will be indexed.
thank you,
The Internet
