Guest guest Posted June 17, 1998 Report Share Posted June 17, 1998 Liz, Pat, Dolly, Bev, Debbie, The onelist archives are open to anyone. I accessed them no problem through another screenname. As far as someone having to have access to the www to get onto onelist, they could always email someone and that person could sign them up under the email address given (I think that's possible anyway). Or the person could sign onto the web at their local library. I don't really think web access should be an issue for most people anyway, particularly since most libraries in the US have free access to the web. Since the archives are open to all, I suggest we either do not archive or archive with the express stipulation to all members that this is an open archive. If we do that, we could still leave the old system up and running for " sensitive " issues that people do not wish to have archived - i.e. going through Liz (if you're willing that is). That way the individual would make the decision whether or not the information they were sharing was " confidential " by sending sensitive matters through the old system. Those of us in the " sensitive information group " would receive the posts through the old system (as well as what everyone else was receiving on the new onelist). Liz could continue to moderate the old system and keep the flames, etc. out. Flagrant flaming etc. on the new onelist would result in the member being removed. BTW, did you notice that the onelist server says BETA at the top. Makes me wonder if this is a beta version of the system and there may be some glitches and bugs still to be worked out. Liz, you might want to ask them if the archives are supposed to be open to all or just open to members. It may be a beta glitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 1998 Report Share Posted June 17, 1998 This may turn into a duplicate, but it has not yet shown up in my mailbox and a subsequent post has. So here goes again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 1998 Report Share Posted June 17, 1998 , There are groups on onelist that are restricted and I imagine those have set their archives so that you have to me a member to view it. The best way to resolve this is to ask onelist. Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2001 Report Share Posted December 12, 2001 I tried all 3 methods of searching through the archives. The middle one only gives a few of the most important messages, which I've already read. I tried www.escribe.com and I tried typing in a keyword the regular way. Both times all that did was bring me to the most recent mention of my searchword, and all the other emails written around the same day. So each time I'd type in a word, it would give me a message from within the last few days, and then all the other messages surrounding it that were completely unrelated. So if I wanted to lets say, look up all the information the group has compiled on Photoderm, I would still have to go through all 34,000 previously written EMails one at a time, correct?
