I don't think we can reach that conclusion. Jim posted a message to the
public GNHLUG mailing list that included a web address. The internet is
swarming with search engine crawlers just looking for addresses such as
these to index.

The GNHLUG mailing list is archived in several places throughout the web,
and thus any message posted here can be read as a regular web page from
those services, for example:

http://wiki.gnhlug.org/twiki2/bin/view/Www/MailingLists lists the mailing
lists and the (public) archives of them,

and:

there's mod's posting!
