-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Then let your current efforts speak to the problem. Every organization makes mistakes, have employees act clueless, etc. This is understandable, and if corrected, forgivable. It sounds like your company has addressed the problem. If anyone asks about it, tell the truth, and explain how you fixed the problem. Asking (or in your case rather forcefully threatening/demanding) a historical archive of a mailing list to selectively purge their records is not the answer. An archive is just that, and what you are asking for defeats the purpose of the archive; furthermore it is not likely to result in erasing the record as there are likely to be cached copies elsewhere. If you are worried that the post will show up in web searches, then publish a followup page and submit it to the search engines so it comes up along with the original post. Threatening to sue over publication of the truth makes you look far worse than having made a mistake a year and a half ago and then acknowledging and fixing the problem. - - James D.

If e-mail was sent through our servers (which may have happened back then since it was so long ago and the sys admin we had at the time had no clue what he was doing), we have put measures in place to prevent anything like that from happening. We are continuing to improve our servers and service. We are in the process of hiring all new staff and make our service better than ever. We are currently adding a T3 and in the next 2 to 4 month we will have another T3 and we are adding 50 to 75 new servers. You can see that we are investing a lot in our service and we don't need some stupid little page like this with inaccurate information hanging over us. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.0.2 Comment: Spammers are NetAbusers - Jail Them With The Other Criminals iQA/AwUBNtT2cjAufbtGOmgdEQKYKQCfTPycwzOYnpoEOAG8Nk/rSipoN/8AoIdS TpHbKgOpnasnY7ho2ncQgmLu =dFZx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
