MJ: Contrary to your opinion of us, most are aware of Galileo's recantation and the attitude with which it was given. You should be happy it's not my forum for I would have permanently banned you for your apology. Mr. Beaty, I vehemently object to the erasure of any messages from Vortex archives.

Re: [Vo]: Archive erasement request
TB: Wouldn't this be a bit excessive? May I object that, following the same apology, the original author was not excommunicated? My request for erasure was to prevent the public embarrassment of a member I have been accused of, not for my own comfort as you seem to imagine.

Hi Michel, My request for erasure was to prevent the public embarrassment of a member I have been accused of, not for my own comfort as you seem to imagine. Does your smug behavior have no limit? How can you prevent something you have already done? Now that the moderator has given his clear and fair assessment, and reestablished his editorial policy for this list, the supporting evidence must remain. However, I agree with Terry that it seems fitting you should not. It is quite fair for some boards to choose to filter their content such that behavior like yours is absent. Dave
Re: [Vo]: Archive erasement request
So whatever I say is smug now. I see bashing of the Frenchman is in order, anyone else cares to join? I meant more public than Vortex membership. I maintain my request, and insist that it is disinterested, as have been all my contributions. I have nothing to sell here.

Give the man a mulligan, as they say in golf. Thanks Jed but give which man a mulligan? If you mean erase for my sake, and everybody else here feels the same, I wouldn't want Bill to go to the trouble to do it either, I am sure he has more important things to do. The interested parties, I suggest you work this out by private messages, I have given my position.

Re: [Vo]: Archive erasement request
Or, as my friend Brad would often say back in high school, Alex... PUT THE SHOVEL DOWN! and i object as well. the archive is not just for the purpose of research into already discussed topics, but a source of info on the evolution and use of the list. i rankle at the thought of ANY censorship, no matter the reasonl.
