The moderators intend and try to delete such posts as those under discussion before they reach the list, by both automatic and manual filtering. They are doing pretty well, but some posters have actively evaded this process (and give us training examples to improve the process). I think that posts that would have unquestionably been deleted before being distributed are fair game to be replaced at least in our archive after the fact. I appreciate the people who have done this cleanup work. -- Terry Jan Reedy
