I got the same thing. I find it really, REALLY annoying that they
don't ask first, but instead start slurping up posts from my list,
and -then- they do the "ask politely" thing once they've been noticed.
Yuck-o. They can take their "Internet archive" and shove it, in my
opinion.
(For what it's worth, I'm also bothered by the fact that apparently
they're trying to "back up" the entire Internet; in other words, copy
and redistribute everything on every web page out there, without the
permission of the copyright holders.)
