Considering that every subscriber to the list might have a copy of the list
messages I don't think deleting them from the archive is sensible, it
certainly won't make them disappear from the Internet, places like the
wayback machine will still have copies.

It's fairly normal to consider messages to mailing lists to be in the Public
Domain.

I try to keep an open mind, but not so open that my brains fall out.
