This situation has highlighted something that it would seem people have forgotten . This list is a large number of years on from the time when it consisted of a few techos who met over (a/some/s**t_loads_of - delete which does not apply) beer at a conference. The membership list has grown now to include more than a few 'interested parties' and even journalists. While this is a great way to let the wider NZ Internet community gain an appreciation of what goes on in the engine room. It's not the place at all to be discussing ANYTHING which you wouldn't scream from the rooftops. Why do you think I've hardly posted for the last three years while I worked for a telco. This is a VERY public forum. It might be be better to think of posting here like taking out an advert in the Dom, rather than asking a quiet question over curry on a thurs night. =) At least TNC had NDA understandings =) At the very least it's going to be archived forever, at the very worst It's going to make headlines.

A little article in IDG about this little thread:
http://computerworld.co.nz/news.nsf/news/DF26DD5EC552714CCC257 2370015BF36
In which may be read
"However, NZNOG policy is not to act as a censor and remove messages, and they are still there, available to anyone with a web browser and internet connection."
The practise of not altering the list archive on request has nothing at all to do with views on censorship. After all, the archive contains material already distributed. It has to do with who's responsible for the content of the archive. If someone edited the archive, that person would be responsible for what they chose to leave.
