Before replying to this, I think it should probably be an "all or
nothing" thing. All our lists should be subscribed, or none. My vote is
all the lists get subscribed.

Subject: request to archive mailing lists
Hi,
InReference, Inc. has developed a search service (Reference.COM) that
provides the Internet community fast, easy, and free access to Usenet
and electronic mailing lists. The service is made possible in large
part
by the contributions (software, hardware, communications
infrastructure)
of NASA Ames, Sun, Oracle, Verity, Pacific Bell, Storage Computer and
others. The service includes paid advertising from corporate
sponsors,
in addition to free advertising space for non-profits. The service is
both Web and e-mail accessible. It is expected to be the largest
online
repository of Usenet and electronic mailing list archives.
InReference's goal is to provide users with fairly complete coverage
of
Usenet and electronic mailing lists. To this end, we would like to
subscribe to the following lists that you manage:
db-sig
By allowing us access to your lists, you will be making your content
(current and historical) easily accessible to the Internet community,
as well as your own subscribers. As an example, we archive the INDIA-L
mailing list from indnet.bgsu.edu. The Internet community (and
subscribers
of this mailing list) can search and browse its contents at URL:
http://www.reference.com/cgi-bin/pn/listarch?list=INDIA-L@indnet.bgsu.ed
u
If you want us to archive the above mentioned lists, please reply to
this
message. Include in your reply the names of the lists that you would
like
us to archive. Also, if there are other lists that you manage and
would
like to have archived, include their names also. If any of the lists
are
being gatewayed to usenet news, please mention the name of the group.
Please do *NOT* subscribe list-manager@Reference.COM to any of the
lists
(list-manager is the alias for the person managing mailing list
subscriptions). Should you have any questions regarding the service,
please contact us at list-manager@Reference.COM.
If we do not hear from you, we will assume that you do NOT want your
lists archived and we will NOT subscribe to them.
Thanks for your consideration.

Q: How much will users have to pay to get to the data I'm supplying
you for free?
A: Zero, nada, zilch. Not now, not ever. We will make our money by
including ads on the web page, much like other free services do
today. Someday we may add premium services that will include an
additional charge, but the base services will always be free to
the end user.
Q: Just who are you?
A: We are a small startup located in Silicon Valley. Our access to
database technology from Oracle, hardware from Sun, and high speed
Internet access from Pacific Bell gives us a unique edge. Our
technical team includes Eric Allman, the creator/developer of
sendmail and Professor Hector Garcia-Molina, head of the
Digital Library Project at Stanford University.
Q: How will people access your service?
A: Queries can be submitted and the results retrieved via the web
(http://www.reference.com) or by e-mail. See our home page for
details.
