Sounds great for the cases before sending.
but once it has been sent.  There are those
of us that are signed up VIA email.
A changed post seems.
editied/altered/modified/inaccurate/corrupted

What is said is said.  wether it be intentional or not.
It would leave some with a greater power of removal
of their contributions just because they decide
they don't want to support Euphoria anymore.

What they have contributed freely and openly at a
given time should remain free and open.  This does
not mean that they should be required to maintain
and provide access to said data.  But if someone
else is willing to keep and provide access to said
data it shouldn't be so easily stricten from existance
based on one persons attitudal whim.

I'll not name names of those that have done such
things already.  But trust me.  They are definately
out there.  I can think of 2 without flinching. I'm
still in contact with both of them.  But that doesn't
mean I condone their explicit removal of supporting
information that was given free of will during one
of their happier times.

Another thing to state.  It really stinks when one
updates a lib and it never makes it to the contributions.
Now, don't ask me why it hasn't made it.  All I know
is that I made and update.. And I am one of the original
creators of said code.  It isn't just an update.  But also
a bug fix.  The buggy version persists and the update
isn't even known of by any other than me.  That is
horrible as well.
