Actually I don't know if a discussion of group policy is considered off-
topic. I guess that's up to Mike to decide, not me. But I will say
that your logic is flawed. By the time Mike deleted the posts from the
group archive, they had already been sent to every group member who has
opted to receive group emails. Since I have emails turned off and only
read yahoogroups from the yahoogroups web interface, the only posts I
am aware of that Mike deleted was mine, and the one I was replying to.
If any additional posts had been made in in that thread, I didn't see
them because Mike had deleted them by the time I logged on to read the
group again. So, ironically, the only people for whom Mike's action
actually prevented them from seeing the off-topic posts, are people for
whom off-topic posts wouldn't seem particuarly intrusive to in the
first place, since they would be the ones with traffic sent by email
turned off.
