It seems to me as the person who erroneously posted to a public list chose the wood hammer method right from the beginning. This doesn't sound very serious to me. If the list would be hosted in Switzerland and I'd be admin of it, I'd feel quite safe. Not that I am a legal expert, but if someone

As Pierre says, if the post and definitely the reply is of interest for all subscribers I would keep it - especially after asking myself with what argument will he sue the list? On what grounds? It is a public list which every subscriber agrees to when he/she signs up. If he didn't read it I
