RE: TOW#23: The Music o' Spey
Being of the generation that started out on Usenet before there was an Internet, I don't get this "remove my posts" thing - on Usenet anything you posted was forever and it was technically impossible to remove it, since the system was decentralized and there would always be a copy lurking somewhere. I've seen it on other forums where people throw their toys out of the pram and insist on having their contributions deleted, and I would prefer it if admins refused all such requests.
I've always acted as if there were an implicit contract that anything you publish on a forum stays on the forum for as long as it exists. Newspapers don't send somebody round with a felt marker to black out bits of the letters page on the issue you bought last April just because the letter writer took umbrage, do they? http://www.campin.me.uk |
