The only problem I see with this is that new members wouldn't then 
have access to any useful information in those posts at all, period, 
and what would happen if there was information in those posts that 
is useful for FP-generation?

Here's a version of Cindy's proposal: 

How about any information, other than the names of people involved, 
are included in a post to the list that's made for archival purposes 
just before the original post is deleted?

That way, the salient information would still be accessable to 
*everyone*.
