Hi Mike,
As I just sent out re:Migdia, it states on the sign up page for the list "To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the Gendergap Archives http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/gendergap/."[1] Unless we chose to make this a close list, that is by approved subscription only (like internal-l[2] or cultural partners[3]), it will still not remove the public content already on the public web. And it would require community support for a closed list (which I don't think is necessary, personally).
It's unfortunate if this will possibly change your participation on the list from here on out, but, since the lists inception in February it has been a public mailing list.

Is there no way to undo this, Nathan? Sarah? I will readily admit that I DID NOT understand that posts to this list were public posts, and my participation would have been shaped by such an awareness.

Unfortunately the list is public (there is a link to public archives on the subscription page), and posts to it are collected by several services that are unrelated to Wikimedia. Since the posts are stored by private third parties, there is no good method for removing them. You can try inquiring with the various services directly, if you can determine who they are and how to contact them.
