I just created this account (and one on startuplinkup) b/c while I didn't mind having my email on the Google Doc, I don't want it sitting on the wiki. According to the User group rights only Admins can delete. Care to help (Startup 155)?

Yes, I deleted startup155. A solution to this problem may be to enable the deletion of past revisions, I think there is an extension that allows that.
thanks
Out of pure curiosity, as I'm sure all the startup folks are .. would you mind shedding some light into why you would be ok with your email on Google Docs but not a wiki?

We're interested in learning.

Well, I know for a fact that my email on a traditional web site is going to be indexed and cached by search engines, internet archive, etc, while on the Google Doc, I'm a little fuzzier on how permenant and searchable my email address becomes.

In a nutshell, I wanted to avoid spam; from bots, not from users here.

If I had had this account the other day, I probably would have just added that.
