LF: US LF archive

Hi Alan,

Maybe this one?

http://rf.org/pipermail/lf/

Not a mirror of blacksheep, but Andre Kesteloot cross-posted many interesting messages. They have an archive 1999 to 2004 - great stuff to read, in my opinion it would have been a pity if all that would have been lost.

As far as I can see, all email addresses are removed by Yahoo on their web-based service.

 

Best 73,

Hi Jay the problem being we dont have ready access to Blacksheep. I suggest  

no-one cross posts messages they do not originate. This is the only polite  

way. 

 

I thought there was a mirror/archive of Blacksheep messages in the US....I  

remember seeing one about 10 years ago....but cant find it now so it must  

have died. It is easy enough to set up a Yahoo private group and have all  

the facilities that seem to be required....continuing with this Group in the  

present conditions is just a hassle. I would have thought an "open" group  

would be a better way to encourage new LF stations.  A poster can delete  

their own messages if they dont want them to persist. You can pull up all  

you posts and delete in one go. They may be cached for a while but will soon  

"decay". You cannot "hide" an email address easily, though you may be able  

to use an anonymous site. I have no experience of that.
