Hi, The HARVEY List Archives should soon be on the web at http://lists.rootsweb.com/~archiver/HARVEY-L/ There is NO password. I only had one person on one of my lists say they wanted a password so a clear majority for web archives with no password. At this point if we wanted a password the option was not to archive on the web. The list is still a closed list, with has saved you a bit of spam, as it only comes to me and not the list. Keeping in mind the archives are on the web I thought the following post from Brian would be of interest to you. Ruth Daivson --- <ducking and running for cover> RootsWeb has worked very hard to avoid a lot of formalities. The current AUP only has three requirements for the users of free facilities here: o No copyrighted material, save by permission. (Fair Use is obviously OK, though.) o No GEDCOMs in free Web space. (Obviously doesn't apply to lists.) o No commercial activities. But mainly, the acceptable use policy is Just Use Common Sense. Take the copyright issue. For heaven's sake don't ask RootsWeb for talmudic dispensations on the fine points of what is and isn't OK: just use common sense. If folks quote short passages and acknowledge the sources, that's almost surely Fair Use. If someone decides to post a chapter out of one book every day until they post the whole book front to back, that's surely not OK. But RootsWeb doesn't expect listowners to be lawyers with expertise in intellectual property law and to get every nit and nat right; we just want you to accept responsibility for helping us avoid the more egregious situations where we have to waste a day or two's time smoothing things over with a wronged author. Just use common sense. Thanks for your help, B. -- Dr. Brian Leverich Co-moderator, soc.genealogy.methods/GENMTD-L RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative http://www.rootsweb.com/ P.O.
