Not an accusation, an observation of what may have occurred.  

One could easily conclude, since Interchange is no longer listed under 
the Software tab, details of IC can only be found using the search 
engine, and that numerous other competing products are for sale under 
the Solutions Market Place > E-Commerce tab, that Redhat is basically 
dumping, or at a minimum, pushing aside, Interchange.

With that in consideration, I do not believe anyone would argue that 
there was not at least an appearance of a major rush to move everything, 
including this list, off the Redhat domain and servers, correct?  

So, if Redhat has in fact washed their hands of IC, one could speculate 
an end of their obligation to any perceived rights of privacy with their 
copy of the mailing list.  

If you recall the thread, I was not the one that suggested that someone 
may have gotten their hands on an older subscription list...  Since you 
appeared quick to reach, perhaps you might be in a position to clarify a 
little of everything?
