Leaving no trace on the web or in life . . . .

Richie:

Cool.  Maybe you can post back one more time if you have some success
getting the list to go "silent."  But, it's not just the ubuntu list that
has this problem . . . on the odd occasion that I google my name, somewhere
down the list will be some posts from my early exploits trying to find a
system to run PPC a couple years ago . . . on the fink user list . . . .
Compared to them this list is a dream . . . hopefully I'm not stepping on
toes, but IMHO fink is not worth the space it takes up . . . 8 hour
install, part way through some package would break . . . when I would post
my issue about how to fix it, invariably somebody would post back with
almost literally, "Why are idiots posting on our beautiful forum . . . and
then add that if I didn't know how to fix it I shouldn't be on the list . .
. ."  Which I found ironic, since fink was . . . so "brittle" . . . and
within a month or so had dropped support for PPC--but the "evidence" of
those posts is still floating around . . . .

So, my point was & is, a sense of humor about "privacy" on the internet is
required . . . and then some understanding that public life includes
moments of embarrassment, even humiliation, a few short moments of joy . .
. until we close our eyes for "the big sleep" . . . and then, if what you
are saying is correct . . . the "evidence" of our web exploits will remain
for another 2.5 years . . . until we can then "disappear" into eternal
"privacy" . . . leaving no trace, etc.  : - 0
