Loopy,

Deleting messages seems to be an issue. You can click on the little
arrow and get the option to delete that one message only.
Is it possible to have the option to 'check-all' and hit a delete
button? It's very time consuming doing one at a time.

There isn't. There's a To-Do item about bulk operations on message threads, but I'm not sure if Deletion is one of the contemplated operations.

All these messages go to each member so I see
no need to keep them after a week or so.

In most email list services there's a central store of all the prior message. Sometimes called an archive, the usual intent is to have a quasi-permanent repository of the past messages. So one option for you is to simply ignore the old messages, as they aren't counted against any quota for your group.

If you feel that the messages are ephemeral and should be deleted there is a "Topic Duration" hashtag option that will let you set a limit after which the topic is automatically deleted. Two problems with that for your purpose:

o It applies to whole topics, not individual messages.
o You have to get the hashtag onto every topic.

You can go in and edit each new topic to add the hashtag. I don't know what happens if you edit an old topic and add a hashtag with a limit, maybe nothing if the topic is already older than the specified limit.
