Parents who are concerned about this should assume that the archives are
going to be available to anyone as it would be trivial for someone to
subscribe and obtain access to the archives. Even if the list isn't
archived, someone could still subscribe, and privately archive the
messages.
We shouldn't give parents a false sense of security.

The attackers hadn't simply robbed the bank. They had carried off
everything portable, including the security cameras, the carpets, the
chairs, and the light and plumbing fixtures. The conspirators had
deliberately punished the bank, for reasons best known to themselves,
or to their unknown controllers. They had superglued doors and
shattered windows, severed power and communications cables, poured
stinking toxins into the wallspaces, and concreted all of the sinks
and drains. In eight minutes, sixty people had ruined the building so
thoroughly that it had to be condemned and later demolished.
