In the past few months, I've started getting requests from people to remove posts from the 313 list archives.
I'll add this to the FAQ at some point but here's a heads up for those of you here and paying attention: I'm not going to remove messages from the archives, for anyone, for any reason. Here's my rationale 1. Unless you're an idiot (and I have my suspicions about the people making these requests) you should know never to post anything on the Internet that you don't want to show up in a Google search. I knew that in 1987 when I started posting to Usenet, so ignorance is no excuse. 2. That ship has sailed. The 313 list archive is available places other than hyperreal.org -- mail-archive.org, n*bble.com, resynthesize.com (if it ever comes back up), and probably elsewhere as well. I'm not going to try and track them all down. 3. It's a time-consuming and annoying process to remove individual messages from the raw list archives. My life is too short for that shizz. So be warned: anything you say on the 313 list will become part of your permanent record.
