Given the subject of Hank’s message, I suppose MARC is more easily
searchable.  I personally don’t have anything against it, especially if
it makes people’s lives easier.

For the record, our lists are also mirrored at GMane:

Well, in practice, when posting to an open (as opposed to
invitation-only) mailing list with a public archive, one implicitly
accepts the message to be visible by anyone, unless X-No-Archive or
similar is used.
