RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] archive update and request for input

I agree, Tim, why edit the message base? A CD is certainly large enough to
hold many messages without editing. I'd like to see the archives preserved
as they actually were posted. Then again, I'm not for revisionist history
books either. Record things as they actually happened. I heard on another
group that Yahoo has deleted 2000 of their oldest messages; this group's
archives should not be assumed to be sacred to Yahoo.

Thanks,

Terry,

Seems to me the archives are either edited or they are not. So far they
are not and I would vote fore leaving it that way. Hopefully it will not
be a problem in the future as we are becoming much more strict about the
anti-flaming rule now that the group is much larger.
