By agreeing to these rules, you warrant that you will not post any 
messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-orientated, hateful, 
threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws.

The forum requires that members do not make obscene or vulgar posts. 
What if we make obscene or vulgar posts to our mailing list? I assume 
they'll just remove it from the forum, but it is something to consider.

I'm happy for our list to be archived elsewhere, although I'm not 
entirely happy about how they've gone about it. I'd have been happier if 
they'd e-mailed each mailing list with a "would you mind subscribing our 
bot?" message.
