I've considered that in the past, but I also know that our archives
are immensely useful for other open-source software users (close to
20k hits in June for the vps-mail archive).

It wouldn't be hard, of course, and we still have the list's
(open-source) htdig search engine to find messages. Does everyone else
feel the same way about closing off the list archives to spiders? I'd
like to get some kind of feel for what other folks feel before I shut
'er down to robots.
