Hmmm is right. I dunno about you... but that tells me that by and large 
most list participants simply want the list to be somewhat more then an 
out and out topical only forum.  That said... no reason why everything 
needs to go to the archives.

Suggestion !! you could require very easily that any post that was to be 
saved to the archives be marked appropriately by the sender..... 
including some short word-et in the subject line.. like [Arch]. That 
way... anyone who meant to say something they felt was worth saving for 
future use would have to think twice... it would also make the job of  
filtering any remaining nonsense quite easy.... just a thought.
