List-management is highly subjective; many folks believe you should never
alter the archives.  Archive editing is a slippery slope, especially as a
personal time-sink.  To a certain degree, it is even a exercise in
futility especially if there are third-party (and unregulated, even
personal) archives.

I would be hard pressed to remember if I've ever done such a thing in the
more than a decade of operating lists (that's not to say that I've never,
I just can't recall).
