Okay, I'd understood that as things stood on FAQ, this had not been 
decided yet. I definitely had never, before the recent discussions, 
been aware that this took place, and I object to it, and I honestly 
apologize if a silence imposed by my not noticing a poll go by, let 
it seem that I agreed.

I am not objecting to scrubbing because MEG doesn't. I object to 
scrubbing because I object to scrubbing. I dislike altering history, 
I think the "holes" would be far more worrisome to new members (left 
free to imagine the worst) than reading comments, and I think the 
awareness that the words may be read exerts a completely healthy 
pressure to remain civil in discussions.

I, speaking only as a FAQ member and not caring what other lists do, 
won't agree to a standard scrubbing policy that extends past one 
poster's right to delete their own words.
