  Indeed this is true.  As we have seen lately from VRSN/NSOL and now
Stewart Lynn.

  This has recently happened with the VRSN/NSOL Domain-Policy archives.
It has also occurred with comments@icann.org some time ago as well as the
gTLD-MoU Mailing list archives as well...  Hence from the beginning of this
and all other DNSO Mailing lists, I have been keeping an archive as well
as an archive of all Admin and other private E-Mails from known
DNSO participants and NC members.  I have an internal Database
for these ML's with a very nice search facility as well...
