So, would we require members to enter passwords to read the archive or would
we just not offer the ability to view the archived messages?

Anyone can sue anyone in this country. Having been involved personally in
one such suit, without any merit whatsoever, I speak from experience. It
ruined a small part of our life for over two years.
But I still beleive that this should not stifle discussion.
The fact that GSAS uses a mailing list rather than a forum means the
discussions sit only on the archive, which we could make private at any
time.

I don't want to be a downer about sharing information - but recently the
Circle City Aquarium Club had to make it's forum private because some of
our members got in trouble for saying negative things about distributors
and manufacturers, etc.
Even saying "yeah, me too" was enough to get one of our members sued -
though he got out of it quickly enough and wasn't held accountable.
(NOTE: I was not an active member of the CCAC when this happened, I just
heard about it second hand)
I'm not sure where to draw the line though. I think discussions like
pros
and cons of certain methods and products are good, but it might be worth
looking into what exactly is considered libel or slander when we start to
discuss experiences with particular manufacturers.
Bummer, isn't it?
