> There's no problem with the archive; you should not be posting > this sort of thing to ope-l. Allin: That is not for you (alone) to determine. The role of "current maintainer" of the archives is entirely a technical one. We have a responsibility to ourselves and archives readers to preserve the integrity of the archives. Only in _very_ rare cases where there is a pressing need have posts been deleted from the archives. We should not have a revisionist historical record of our discussions: they are what they are (the good, the bad, and - yes - the ugly). As you know, as list coordinator I have had the primary responsibility of deciding these questions. In the current instance, the posting by Ajit was sent with his specific authorization. As you know, he had been a member of the list for many years and I think he had the *right* to inform others why he was resigning. Do not do this sort of thing again: the archives belong to the list, not the current maintainer. In solidarity, Jerry
