What about on this mailing list What if I where to link to the infamous rpm that will allow you to do the forbidden? Will that mail be removed as well?
What if somebody comes here as a new user and says: Hey I found this link to http://example.com/dir/bilvdvscc.rpm that will allow you to make coffee.
What if this is done on the newsgroups, or on a list available on gmane where removal per mail is not possible? I don't think that Novell can be held responsible for things they have no control over. Someone posting a message on any type of public forum cannot be controlled other than removing their access which happens after the fact.
