Archives are archives. However, I myself have amended my own list archives (adsl(a)unixathome.org) on two occasions:
1 - remove a password posted to the list 2 - remove an email address of a person who was being stalked
In neither case was a message removed. Alterations were done in such as way as to be obvious it was done.
The only time we have ever removed a message from a list archive is when some plonker posted specific instructions on how to exploit a security issue and gain unauthorised access to one of our servers. I think things have got to be pretty bad before a list admin considers erasing history.
