I think the basic inconvenient truth is that *some*body *will* come after *some*body else on the basis that they *might* have enough money to pay a settlement, or just to make "the responding party's" life hell. I know several people that's happened to in the US, and one in the EU (where things are reputed to be more civilized, but that doesn't mean risk is zero). > I expect the impact on "smaller lists run by Unpaid Volunteers" to > be about on par with that of the right to be forgotten.

It would be a much more annoying matter if they claimed the right to be deleted from third party posts that quoted and identified them, though. If there is a "right to be forgotten" that impinges on mailing list archives, that seems plausible to me, though who knows what the High Court would rule.
