List complaints - solution

[Fred (FL)]

I have two LIST questions:

a.  Where is this mysterious K3 FOLDER?

b.  In the past, when I posted a dumb or worse,
posting - I emailed you, requesting that the post
be deleted.  Never got an answer?  Isn't there
some way - OWNERS OF LIST POSTS, could thereafter
delete their posts - like other known group
lists?  (ex - yahoo groups)?

Lets say a person posted a totally inappropriate
posting - and wanted it deleted.  How do they
do this, on this list?

Fred, N3CSY

I believe this list is run on Mailman...and as such there is no way to "take
back" a post....since as soon as you send it to the list, it goes back
out...unless the list owner has set the list up to require his or her approval
of every message, or only moderate certain list members.

As far as I know, it can't be done.

Fred, this mail reflector doesn't work the same way as a Yahoo group. A Yahoo
or Google group is web-based, and all the message content resides on a web
server. The content can also be emailed out to members if they choose. But
because it's based on a server, a message can be deleted -- though the people
who already received it via email have it, and it can't be "recalled."

A mail reflector like this one is run strictly using POP3 email protocol. This
is a dynamic protocol in that the server doesn't keep a copy of the messages
it gets; it receives them and promptly sends them back out to the subscribers,
just like a repeater. There is no permanent server record of the messages.
