They tried to subscribe to one of my lists. I removed them and asked them
what they were doing. I received the following:

Mr. Tibbitts,
FindMail Communications is a small internet company designed to
archive public mailing lists for the Internet Archive
(www.archive.org). Here is the mission statement of the Internet
Archive:
"Internet Archive is gathering, storing, and providing access to
public materials on the Internet such as the World Wide Web, Netnews,
and downloadable software. The Archive will provide historians,
researchers, scholars, and others access to this vast collection of
data (reaching ten terabytes), and ensure the longevity of the
information." - www.archive.org
FindMail Communications would like to archive the FVWM mailing
list. FindMail will not post any messages to the list. We will store
all of the messages and then later allow for retrieval on a public or
private basis.
If this is acceptable, please place ListSaver-of-fvwm@FindMail.COM
as a subscriber to the list. If not, I respect your decision and
thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Scott Hassan
FindMail Communications
