I think the point is that most people aren't comfortable with their fits, starts, and general n00bishness being published for the world to see. Heck, I've got a fairly thick skin but I'm not comfortable asking stupid questions about compiling or patching Python here on python-dev. I have trouble with the thought of my idiocy being part of the public record. Doing things in private feels a lot more intimate and comfortable. But you know what? At the end of the day it doesn't matter. Arguments about private versus public archives are like arguments about reply-to: there's never going to be a "correct" answer. If this proposed lists' archives are public I don't have to participate. If they're private you don't have to participate. Let's just see where it goes, eh? Jacob
