   A bit of searching has turned up two more sites that might be archiving
   your lists without your permission.  See http://www.findmail.com and
   http://www.reference.com.  Unlike eScribe, however, these sites do not
   attempt to hide the origin of their archives, and provide subscription
   instructions, etc.

Thanks for the info.  These are, I think, the ethical archive places.  I've
had several requests over the years for places like this to archive my
list.  I've turned them all down.  I remember findmail and think they are
one who asked.  My list is not in findmail and it's listed (with an old
address) at reference with a note: Status: Not archived by Reference.COM

I would be interested in other places like this though.  I want to make
sure I'm not archived anywhere or listed in a way that I don't want.  Not
to mention that there are hundreds of places out there with my old list and
web addresses and I'd like to change at least the larger sites.

Another place I know that steals pages, though it's not list archives, is
the Mining Company.  I'm listed there as just a list with a link to my page
(done in frames so they maintain a search bar across the top) but other
people have had their pages stolen and produced as if they were a Mining
Company project, complete with ads.  http://www.miningco.com/
