Privacy of this list, was OT: lurking/vacation notifications

[Thomas E Burk]

We've discussed the issue of keeping names hidden before (several aspects 
of that) and reached a conclusion (not a concensus of course) leading to 
setting up the list the way it is.

A private list just means it won't show up in local (UMN) or global lists 
of lists. The message is just canned. I don't think that is a big deal.
