I am all for searchable archives and honestly I am not excited about
sourceforge search capabilities (often multiple word searches do not work
etc).

However, with newsgroups there comes the increase in spam! Sf.net
subscriptions are receiving surprisingly low levels of spam as far as I
can see. If it is archived in newsgroups, I strongly prefer the archives
are filters and email addresses are either removed or shortened so they
cannot be used when harvested. For example, yahoo lists convert email
address to something like "wd at den..."

I prefer private mail sent directly to you stay private. Obviously, it is
highly likely that it will be u-boot related but the sender did not feel
comfortable to ask send in the list etc. in the first place.

I belive direct emails should stay off list. I hope you can continue to
honor that.
