Dave,

I think you're being too nice.  I'm on another listserv list with
over 3700 subscribers, and there it is all done automatically -
deleting, I mean.  It is roots-l at vm1.nodak.edu.  With a list
that big, auto deletions are about the only solution as I see it...
no problem doing that here either, as long as all know it will
happen....

they also have a nice archiving/searching/retrieving service set up
for all messages that cross the list...  My own opinion is that the
same thing should be done for all the physics stuff, physlrnr, sais-l,
phys-l, phys-stu, tap-l and so on, but I don't know the details of
setting such a thing up ....

just my 2 cents:
