You can post self-destructing messages by adding X-no-archive: yes if I am not mistaken. But that only concerns stuff you post yourself. > There is not one archive, but rather several that get messages > straight from vger.kernel.org and keep their own database (e.g., > gmane, marc, spinics, nabble). Frankly, I find it weird that vger.kernel.org does not have an archive of its own. But yes, that makes it unlikely that silent censorship is much of a thing. A list moderator may put a particular sender on silent moderation, where postings will only appear once he has acknowledged them. However, that is a manual and burdensome process and requires an up-front decision to do so. Once a message made it to the list, the various archives will pick it up. -- David Kastrup -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
