I was actually playing around with the headers in Agent. All my posts
have been that way for quite sometime. If you look in a group where my
posts are older than 5 or 6 days, you won't see anything unless someone
quotes or reponds. As far as trying to hide posts that I have made, I
have not done that on purpose. It does not bother me that someone wants
to bring up something that I wrote in the past. I also realized that
those posts are archived elsewhere. The bottom line is that usenet is a
very, very, small portion of the internet. It's constantly changing and
in a few months no one remembers what was posted anyway. Usenet, by
virtue off it's lack of moderation, is not a very efficient form of
discussion. If you look at it as a whole, it's mostly off topic
garbage. It's bound and determined to stay that way. All in all, I
don't care if people read my messages from now until doomsday. That's
what you put up with when there is no moderator.
