[postmaster@sources.redhat.com] REQUEST: REMOVE THIS MESSAGE FROM THE INTERNET RE: Christine Datian

[Per Bothner]

Maybe we should soften this policy.

My suggestion: $100 payable in advance to remove a message from
the archives.  The message is: You did something dumb, but we're
willing to help you cover your ass.  However, it's an inconvenience
for us, so we expect compensation.  Rather like a bounced check fee.
$100 is enough to get the message across.  Anything more might be
viewed as extortionate.  $50 might be reasonable as well, depending
on how much work is involved.

If the work is done by Red Hat employees, it would be perfectly
reasonable for the fee to be payable to Red Hat.  However. I
think it may be wiser to make it payable to the FSF, especially
if this is mostly volunteer work, some by non-Red Hat people
like Jason, and because some of the lists may be GNU lists.
