DVDList Archives Access - Password Now Required

To access the [email protected] archives, you must obtain a password from a list administrator.

Send an email request to [email protected] with a subject of "Archives access request" asking for access along with your real name and you will shortly get an access username and password.

Why the password?

Our web host site is incessantly inundated with a rash of spam messages, and shortly thereafter there was evidence of a web crawler from the same IP address working through the archives. We can't be certain, but it may have been a spammer attempting to mine e-mail addresses from the archives.

For that reason, we have put up the password protection. It is not particularly strong, but it should help us reduce the chances that spammers' robots and web crawlers will easily gain access to our List participants' addresses.

I ask that you not share or publish this; just send anyone who may ask you about it to me. That way, we can try to keep this protection level intact without inconveniencing people too greatly.
