Hi everyone,

Here's a blindingly obvious idea - perhaps we should create a read-only 
Usenet group to echo email-mangled posts from this mailing list? Is there 
any reason why this shouldn't work?

Just to make what I mean absolutely clear - we'd carry on posting here 
exactly as normal, but an additional script would be triggered over each 
message to strip out (mangle) any email addresses in it & to pass it 
silently on to a read-only Usenet group, set up specifically for the 
purpose & one to which no-one else (specifically spambots etc) can post.

Once that's in place, we'd find a way of getting all earlier (similarly 
email-mangled) messages from the mailing list archives merged into the same 
read only group within the Google Groups archive.

Here are some suggestions as to where in the Usenet hierarchy this kind of 
mailing list mirror might fit:-
	alt.voynich
	alt.conspiracy.voynich	<-- it's not paranoia if they *are* out to get you :-)
	alt.history.voynich
	alt.history.voynich-read-only
	rec.voynich
	sci.crypt.voynich	<-- yeah, Nick, that'll rattle a few cages :-)

Unsurprisingly, my preferred option would be alt.history.voynich (as the 
VMS' historical side is perhaps a little more certain than any of its other 
sides).

Comments/suggestions?

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....

PS: I've also contacted Google Groups about integrating the mailing list 
into their archive - from the tone of the automated response I got, I don't 
expect a reply for a while, though. :-(
