[OFB Cafe] Archives

[Tink]

Tsssssjkkk!

The whole reason for moving KDE-Cafe out of the KDE domain was to keep  
it from being erased or hidden or censored because issues discussed   
were sometimes sensitive and not all KDE members agreed that this  
should be associated with the KDE board/e.V.

Back than there were also people, who will remain unnamed, who  
insisted I would erase and destroy the list or because it was within  
the KDE domain wanted to censor it. Some harsh words were spoken and  
even threats were made. Luckily Tim stepped in and offered host the  
list and that was that.

As one of the original admins/owners I certainly oppose to erasing  
these archives. I can only guess the reason these folks would have  
wanting to erase the archives, I myself don't see a need to do so and  
would be very disappointed if they succeeded.
