I'm not really the best person to answer this, but I'd guess that even if somebody deleted this message from the mailing list archive, it's probably been replicated to a bunch of other places on the Net anyways. (Think of Google, which caches pages that it's crawled.) So to speak, the genie is already out of the bottle and putting the stopper back probably won't help very much. Bruce.
