The Matronics lists (30-40 of them) are hosted as a
favor to us by Matt Drall. He does not charge for
this service only asked for volutary donations every
once and a while. Every post that goes into the
archive takes up hard drive space. Not much but it
does take up some. Now multiply that but 30-40 times
for each of the other lists. You can see that the
archives can get pretty large very fast.
Now, if you asked a building related question, that
does not necessarily need to be archived. A detailed
answer with a copy of a short segment of your question
(for clarity) should, however, be included in the
archive for future reference. The answer would NOT
have the "Do Not Archive" in it.
And basically, Matt Drall, the Matronics God, tells us
in his Use Guidlines, that we are supposed to use Do
Not Archive in our posts unless it is important. His
message board, his rules. Additionally, if we keep
the archives clean of the routine chatter and save it
for the good building details, it will make finding
the good stuff much easier in the future.
Hope this explains the use of "Do Not Archive" a
little better. If you have any more questions, feel
free to ask them on the list, or check the Use
Guidlines the Matt send out.

I am new to this forum. Why would you not want to
archive your posts? I assume that means they would
no longer be searchable. For someone like myself
that is trying to learn more about building a 701, I
would think archives would be a good thing.
