When the content group was formed it was agreed that because of it's
editorial nature it probably wasn't best having the discussion and
dissection of articles in the queue open for archiving by google.

It serves two purposes. It allows the content group to discuss articles
freely, and it also saves the blushes of authors whose articles get denied.

In the latter case specifically it was thought that editorial advice
would be better received through content driven private email rather than
a mass discussion.
