I agree, only because they'll add up quickly.  I do have a
couple of possible alternatives, however.

1)  Store them, but delete each after a month

2) Set up a new e-group for those who are interested in the
transcripts.  It can be set up as a "newletter" group, instead
of a "discussion" one.  That is, where only the moderator can
post.  Each week, Dee can send the chat transcript to those on
that list.  Or, if you're not comfortable with it, Dee, e-mail
me those transcripts privately, and I can do it.

Thoughts, anyone?

Melanie
