I was simply clarifying that an ability to make frequent changes to the 
archive is
unrealistic since it requires the unpaid work of KSU support staff. I 
cannot delegate
to someone else the authority to make such requests.

They are willing to remove items from time to time, when I request this. I have
limited these requests primarily for removing spam and attachments with 
viruses,
but could request on a limited basis that other messages be deleted, if the 
active
participants authorized a moderator to make such requests. For the most part,
such a practice would be limited to messages added to the archive after such
a process were authorized by the group, though there could be exceptions.
Since the moderator would control what messages were relayed to the list, I
would not expect the moderator to make such a request very frequently.

Cheers,

Dan
