Darlene (and mark, to a lesser extent) - I haven't asked (and never will) for history to be rewritten.  Please refrain from putting words in my mouth.

I understand and agree with both of your mindsets on things.  Its important that svlugs archives remain historically accurate and complete but its also possible to accommodate ians request at the same time.

I concur with Mark. We should not be rewriting
history. If there is a misspelling or a correction
to make, that would be one thing. I do not agree
nor do I consense to erase someone's contribution to
and participation with svlug.
