List complaints - solution

 >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.

         Not so.  Here are the archives since 2001:
http://mailman.qth.net/pipermail/elecraft/

and for May 2007:

http://mailman.qth.net/pipermail/elecraft/2007-May/thread.html

...and yes, inappropriate messages can be deleted
from Mailman archives although it takes special effort
by the sysop(i.e. not simply the list admin)

P.S.  Just 3 weeks ago I posted how you can read
this list on the web and never receive a single email:

http://mailman.qth.net/pipermail/elecraft/2007-May/067199.html

This solves the mail overload problem people love to
complain about but clearly some just love to complain anyway!

But if one puts one foot in ones mouth, or makes an inaccurate statement, it
does go to everyone on the list (g).
