[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Open-ILS email list archives - an unusual request

[Thomas Berezansky]

There appear to be 8 or 9 messages specifically for people asking to  
be removed or those answering them in the general archives (at a quick  
glance). If we remove or edit any of those threads should we do the  
same to all of them? Or just wait until the given people complain?

I am not sure I would be a fan of editing the archive in general.

A person's name isn't exactly "private" or "sensitive" information to  
begin with, although a case could (but I don't think should) be made  
for their email address/name combination. Still, I don't think that  
someone's name shows up associated with an action they actually took  
warrants editing the archives because they regret taking the action.
