<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Richie:<br><br></div>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 . . . .<br>
<br></div>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<br>
