I think you should avoid this question in future by putting a statement on: https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list that ties subscription to the list with a consent to publish all list email in an archive. And then make everyone resubscribe (to be able to post, anyway). That said, people who want total control over what they write in email should not subscribe to email lists. I would not remove anything from the archive unless you are forced to do so. Maybe you can find a "paraphraser" program that will put what was said in your own words, and run the archive through that. I think that you might own the copyright to that work... >>> tanner at real-time.com 04/29/03 11:05PM >>> I have a Request for Comment (RFC). I received a request from someone to remove several posts from the tclug-list archives. Some time has pasted and this person has realized how comments made years ago can come back to haunt you when posted to a public forum. They said all the right things about being stupid, child-like, etc. Now, my RFC. Should posts be expunged from the archives? I don't mean to punish this person, but at the same time those posts are part of tclug's history and the Internet's history in general. Just because it was bad/wrong/improper doesn't mean it's not part of our history. Right? Please direct comments to the list. And pollmaster, this would be a good poll. :-) -- Bob Tanner <tanner at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org, Minnesota, Linux | Fax : (952)943-8500 http://www.linuxjustworks.com | Linux Just Works!
