No surprised here, as I frequently use the listserv's web interface to post
messages, suspend mail from the list, (my e-mail has some issues with
replying to the list) and know that the archives search function is not
password protected, while the posting and other user administrative
functions (Set nomail, digest, etc.) are password protected.

Also, having plugged my name into search engines, I know my postings to
this and other lists, and Yahoo Groups can be found.

That among other work related public posting rules (yes we have them) is
why I don't mention my current employer in postings or use my work e-mail
for list purposes.  Those who know me well enough, or that search in other
places know or can find out where I work.

I have been a subscriber to the records management list for a few years now
and have always been under the impression the list was closed to subscribers
only.  However, I just googled my employer's name + my name and the results
were shocking.  I found some of my list postings on the internet!

Being that the nature of the list is to query peers on records management
issues and problems, I'm not very comfortable knowing that I'm making my
employers problems available to the general public.  I realize that any time
you send something via the Internet, you've lost control of it.  But I
didn't realize that my list threads could be googled.

I'm just curious if I am the only subscriber who is surprised by this.

Thanks.
