You're contacting the wrong people. If bsdvault decides to archive this mailing list, that's their decision, and not the decision of the list owners. Also, considering this is a public list, I seriously doubt if you friend has any recourse against this anyway. If your friend wants to play with various legal actions, I doubt he'll get anywhere useful. HOWEVER, you may want to try contacting bsdvault and ask them to remove the specific posting, they may be happy to do so. You may want to tell your friend not to post to public mailing lists if he doesn't want to see his posts publicised on various sites. You may also want to tell him to make sure his emails contain a statement of such reservation whenever he sends email anywhere. You may also want to tell him to seek out the other sites that archive the list, as bsdvault isn't the only one. Standard disclaimer applys: I'm not a lawyer so nothing I say is legal advice. It's just my (officially) non-professional opinion. -Bill On Wednesday, August 01, 2001 7:15 PM, Monica Shin [SMTP:monicashin123@hotmail.com] wrote: > I'm sorry if you are reading this.
