Call it anti-social, call it paranoia, > whatever. I call it: stupid. Fact: You message *is* archived, one way or another. Deal with it, or stop using mail and Usenet. Read this article, that was posted here a while back: http://mako.cc/copyrighteous/google-has-most-of-my-email-because-it-has-all-of-yours And if your message is archived, which it is, it might as well be archived in a complete and predictable way. -- underground experts united ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

If so, it is better to quote yourself and say "this turned out to be incorrect, actually it is..." And then you have to add - like US politicians - "And in time, I hope to be forgiven" :) > I didn't post my articles on google groups so I don't > feel any obligation to make sure they go there and > stay there for all eternity, or until the demise of > google. Why do you keep brining up GG? What do they have to do with anything? This communication of ours is open, free. The XNAY won't change that, it will only get things confused and mixed up. -- underground experts united ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

So the end result is: it can still get archived, only you don't know if it is, and if it is, it may be incomplete. What I can see it is much worse than just let it all be in the open. That way you will know it is archived if you ever need to return to the conversation (which frequently happens to me). And, whenever so, the conversation will be completely archived, not fragmentarily at the mercy of the quoters. By the way, XNAY is "X-No-Archive: Yes". > My message-cite-articles-with-x-no-archive is t, so > this message will stay understandable in the > future Mine is too and I don't remember setting that. Actually let me check that: no, I didn't. That tells me only people like Comrade Sjøgren are respectful enough to honor that header. By default Gnus don't (I did 'emacs -Q', then (require 'message) and `M-x describe-variable message-cite-articles-with-x-no-archive'). -- underground experts united ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
