It's not as simple as the DEL key, at least not for me and probably not
for Jeff Kell (the list manager), either. The problem is that these posts
get archived. In my case, the posts end up on a web page, and then it's
*my* server that's dishing up the threats/racial slurs/child porn
ads/whatever. I try to edit this stuff out, but I don't always catch it.
Yes, I know that sueing me is like sueing a property owner for the
graffiti that someone else scribbled on his wall, but that may seem
perfectly fair to some people.
