I came up with the same idea as Tom and sent it to MEG before 
reading his post here. Great minds, eh?

I suggested we leave the prefixed posts in the list archive and 
adopt an honor system. No snooping, no leaking. That way, 
those who didn't take part in a discussion could avoid those 
posts, while those who did would still have access.

Old messages  that would qualify for  the prefix  could be 
scrubbed, archived  elsewhere and consulted on a need to know 
basis.  

The following is from Groups Messages Help under Moderator 
Questions:

"You can delete messages that are off topic, offensive, or 
otherwise objectionable."

So it seems that scrubbing is okay, though I'd still like to hear 
from Heidi.


Thoughts?
