So, if I *respond* to one of his posts (including his email address and at least a portion of what he wrote) and therefore have *some* of his "copyrighted" material in my post then he can request that *my* post be removed *without* my permission? Or he can sue *me* for having included that "copyrighted" material in my post. Do you now see anything wrong with this? Before you start spouting legal advice on a public list, I would suggest that you point to chapter and verse that *specifically* addresses posts made to a public forum that *explicitly* states that such posts will be archived and *explicitly* states that you have the right to request their removal *and* the right to sue if the archiving party refuses to remove them. Furthermore, you must first prove that post made to a public forum are protected by copyright laws. Otherwise you're blowing black clouds of smoke.
