I was extending logic I found to be flawed.  As someone else noted, I've 
received email from folks who have found a posting I've got in the 
archive regarding a problem they're having.  I've often done the same, 
that is, to send email to a total stranger regarding a posting they have 
in an archive.

If you remove the email address from the archive, you're removing a 
great part of it's value.
