Just out of curiosity, why is the mailing list archive password
protected?  Why not leave it open to anyone?

The advantages to having it open are that it can be google-searchable,
and someone else in the world might benefit from a question asked on
our
mailing list.  (I have personally found the answer to questions before
by googling and finding a result on a LUG mailing list.)
