This news just in: Fafa Hafiz Krantz a research designer at Barbershop in Norway ( http://www.home.no/barbershop ) has asked that his posts be removed for all the archives of several public email lists. The request sparked a heated debate over the issue of copyright on email lists and raised interesting questions about specifically opting in to having posts archived. As is typical in such debates few of the participants cited any real evidence backing up their views and almost no attention was paid to the jurisdictional issues created by international lists. There was speculation that the request for deletion was prompted by the posters political views as referenced in his email signature which points to an article about middle east politics http://www.home.no/barbershop/smart/sharon.pdf With the debate he started Mr Krantz seems to have had ensured that his name will live in archives for the foreseeable future, referenced in articles such as this one which he has no copyright to and no control over. In the end the best strategy seems to be: if you don't want to be quoted don't say anything. --END-- This news item may be archived and reposted in any medium without limitation including on search engines.
