I hereby declare voting closed (only three more days behind
schedule!), and am happy to announce the results:

(1) 0 votes
*2* 17 votes
(3) 2 votes

Option 2 (open the all archives) has won, and will go into effect on
01 January, 2007 (or thereabouts).

If you would like special handling of your currently password
protected posts, contact me offlist before 2007/01/01, telling me
specifically what action to take. Options are:

a) Remove all of my posts
b) Remove certain of my posts (provide links to the specific posts in
the current archives)
c) Leave my posts, but completely obscure all occurrences of my email
address (even as quoted in other posts)
d) Some other action of your choosing, which will, within reason, be honoured

Cheers,
Josh
