Yup.  For the same reason, I presume that the list members are not
disclosed to the public.  Or perhaps even to the list members?  It
might be nice to see who are participating as mentors, though.

As long as it is easy to point an already-asked-and-answered topic
to a new mentee, I think that is a sensible thing to do.  We would
find it to be inconvenient that we cannot use such an old exchange
to non-list members, though.

I noticed that, too.  Interestingly, GMail catches these spam that
come via the group just fine, so the filter over there may probably
be set to be more generous.
