Discussions happen on IRC or the ML, no need for duplicates.<br>
We could argue about the lack of forums but in any case the Wiki is not one.<br>

Deleting them just like that without saving and a plan to incorporate them in other ways would be a blow to their freedom to post them in a first place.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>If nobody stepped up, in the past three years that we have been talking about it, to process them then it means that nobody cared enough to devise such plan.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

I have an idea of integrating them (and on-site comments) into newly made mailing list integration with forum-like representation of it. So I would need them all.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Then let us back them up. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Bare in mind that any way people contact and are active, is a good way and shutting down means of communication is not positive by any means.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Better do one thing right than several wrong. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Besides, if you take a look at public forums, they also include all previous old messages, and no one asks just like that, to remove them and why should?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Because a wiki is not a forum and enabling this feature was a mistake in the first place. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

OI also had much more mailing lists in the past but someone unonimously shut them down, like:<br></blockquote><div><br><br></div><div>They are useless when the number of mailing-lists exceeds the number of users. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Power to destroy is ,someone say, power over something, but power of reusing and creation is much bigger power, so no to 'just deleting' people's comments at the present time...<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I agree with this but if nobody reuses them and the situation leads to inconsistency I'd rather get consistency over quantity.<br></div><div><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
