I was told long ago that we keep this on a need to know basis so as not to create a rush to remove to remove messages just because they are "old" or someone doesn't need the information they asked for any longer...it is an archive...like a record of what transpired on a given day and time on a list -- it isn't really meant to be tampered with but we do have to remember the posters OWN their posts. For the very reason RootsWeb doesn't include this removal form URL on the help pages -- we were supposed to only tell posters if and when they asked on a need to know basis. You would need to ask staff if this has changed...because I haven't seen any evidence that it has. Joan In a message dated 1/31/2012 4:38:20 A.M.
