Dear Yawar,
with all respect: Please refrain from adding any remarks of that kind
to our explanation pages regarding the mailing lists. We are inviting
anyone to join the discussions here, and we do indeed maintain a
polite and helpful style of writing. This policy, even though
unwritten, is much much more important that those very few events of
singular people asking about old messages - such an event occurs at
most every few years. Hence, I would like to remove those extra remark
from the wiki page again, and leave the "official" explanation pages
in the state as before.
Also, everyone: There are cases where it is very well suitable and/or
required even by law to do some modifications in the public part of
the mailing list archives. This may be true regardless of those many
copies of other archives in the world: We are still responsible to
some extend for the content that we publish on our gnucash.org
website, and the list archive is just some more of the content. Hence,
it is not appropriate to outright refuse any such sort of request, if
the request mentions any convincing arguments. In this particular
case, I could not see any arguments that would require us to take some
action. But in other cases the situation might very well be different.
Thanks everyone!
Best Regards,
Christian
