That is why I proposed you don't remove them from the list, however you can send them into a disabled/expired status. That way there they still get the messages, however they aren't listed in the main window. The people who you see on the main window for the Marketing Team on the LP should be those waiting to field questions, comments, and/or concerns from others. I agree that the current list shouldn't be removed, however they shouldn't remain active if they are in a way, "not active". Just my two cents.
