I get a few requests here and there.  I tell people if they want editing
they have to provide me with a list (only a few posts) of the posts in
question (giving month and year and then enough info to find it with either
the date, subject, etc).  

Few people actually provide the list.  All who have had had reasonable
requests (like one person who wanted me to leave his posts but delete the
.sig (had his home address) from the 3 he used that .sig for).  I don't
mind making a few changes like that.  But the person has to do the legwork
for me to find the posts.

I also tell people that if they don't want a post archived in the first
place, they can write "DON'T PUT THIS IN THE ARCHIVES!" as the first line
and *if I see it* I will delete it instead of archiving it.  But I offer no
guerentees with that.

If I use a post I like on the webpage, I get permission first for each
post.  But I assume that anyone who posts agrees to have their stuff in the
archives.
