It's possible, yes.

All I'm trying to do is debunk the myth that the list archives aren't
already public. They are.

Now, they are *not* yet indexed by search engines because of the pwd
protection. Claiming that they *shouldn't* be indexed because they're
not public is something that I'm having difficulty comprehending
because they *are* public.

If the username and password were not openly displayed on the tlug.jp
site and if each member who wanted to view them had to be a TLUG
member with their own private credentials, then and only then could it
be argued that the archives are private and not to be indexed.

Or do I need to take my logic circuits in for an overhaul?
