SCNR That is something we haven't ruled out just yet! >And to be honest: If person X fullquotes and the email ends in an >archive, who's fault is it? The last archive removal request I had a few weeks ago stemmed from one of the subscribers posting a private message about an event and it had the original poster's mobile number in it as well as contact details for the event. There was a large thread about this event, and everyone used top posting. The original author contacted us after having been informed they found the event invitation from our website, and were not happy. What do I redact or remove in this instance? - The whole thread; - Personal details about the original poster and the event who had not consented to having their email posted to the mailing list; - Anything else? In the end I removed the phone numbers, her personal address and the Eventbright links from *all* messages, including some messages from other people where they had re-echoed the Eventbright links as part of their conversation to help other people. She wasn't very happy, but worse is the person who forwarded it to the mailing list refused to understand what they had really done and believed they had the right to send the post anywhere as they believed it was in the public domain. Just an example of the type of stuff that I may get asked to remove in future.
