Since April 14, about 200 threads, most with multiple messages, have been created on this list.
While some of them are worth keeping, many are not, and will just bloat the archives and clutter searches.
Please, when posting , consider the use of the statement "do not archive".
>From the matronics usage guidelines (selected items, not the whole thing):
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
Now back to our regular broadcast.
Cheers
Carlos

I disagree. I am keeping every email I receive on any subject having to do
with the safety of the Zodiac. I think it's important that someone new to
the type have the benefit of all of the expertise and experience he can
find, and there have been lots of postings with archiving disabled that
would be valuable to a new owner/builder/pilot. I'm especially disappointed
that Sabrina feels it necessary to remove her postings from the archives,
even going so far as to manually remove them from the Matronics archive, as
she's got lots to say that is quite good and quite valuable.
DNA is overused. It's also only partly effective, as it affects one archive,
but not all (the Matronics forum software ignores it). Sure, DNA purely
personal posts...but if it's got to do with the airplane, it belongs in the
archives.

Also, keep in mind that the DNA has no effect in the web forum version of the list. Everything posted no matter a DNA note or not is stored for as long as Matt keeps the servers running.
It is also much more likely to be accessed via a Google or other search engine than the listserver history.
