One problem here is that there are multiple places where these lists
are archived: as well as directly in the listserv's pipermail
directory, they are pushed through GMane, which archives them as well
as turning them into newsgroups:
http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.english.
Who knows where else public copies might exist, and of course search
engine databases might already have spidered it and not be in any
hurry to remove it again....
