[LAU] CENSORING public archives (Was: Problem post)

[david]

The censorship should have been performed by the original poster.

Also, legally, simply deleting the post wouldn't be sufficient, since 
you don't know how many list members still have a copy of the original 
email.

Deleting the post could ALSO be considered an effort to destroy evidence 
and hide something illegal.
