[WikiEN-l] Inappropriate termination of discussion

[brewhaha%40edmc.net]

Maybe you should point out some examples. The archive process I know is 
something I regard as pointless, because it is in the history. Why not just 
link to the revision before deleting large portions of discussions that seem 
to be closed? I am not familiar with how noticeboards are maintained. I am 
familiar with how long the helpdesk page becomes.
