To heap insult onto injury: because the exact url to the Dec. 2005 mail was posted, it will be available soon on the tens of not hundreds of web interfaces for this mailing list. All known search engines (Googlebot, Yahoobot,...) will index the new message and stumble upon the url to the old message. Which they will index too... And if the archive servers have publicly available visitor stats, the visit count for the old message will raise too, which could result into additional indexing. The perverse result of the complaint is that it actually made the situation even worse!
