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. >> - Post: Group members only.

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.
