All-
Tommy Walker was a little harsh on himself with his recent sign off "Do not archive this or anything else I'm foolish enough to post" but got me thinking- maybe the posting protocol is set up backwards. I don't know how many times I thought I was corresponding directly with someone and wound up on the list, or was simply brainstorming and had half-baked ideas saved for posterity.
Instead of having to remember to add "Do not archive" to most of the posts, how about reversing the procedure to make a poster add "Archive" to anything that should be saved? That way, we can openly correspond or brainstorm without clogging up the archives, yet save any final positive outcome of the exchanges. Posts without "Archive" would die after a certain amount of time. Just a thought.

Bill,
Can you accomplish the same thing by including "do not archive" in your name/address area?

Most email clients and web email sites, including the Matronics web
forum you can set up a signature block that can be appended to your
posts. On some it can be set up to be appended by default. You can put
the appropriate entry there.

Ken-
That's a possibility. Maybe the placement in the post is critical. Matt's the expert.

One thing to remember. The "Do Not Arcivhe" command only effects the email version of the list. It does not keep it off of the web version which mirrors everything that goes on the email version.
A quick search on the web forum gets 18449 hits for the search term "Do AND not AND archive".
The moral of the story is don't post stuff you don't want to be there for a long time.
