[DMCForum] Re: Off Topic Posts (VideoBob)

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try reading the List and Forum via the Yahoo interface (yes, the same
one that generated so much off topic traffic when it was changed not
long ago). Allows you to pick and choose which messages to read from
an index, with optional opening text for further clarification. No
need to delete anything. Flipside: anything you want archived needs to
be saved purposefully.
