I can assure you that at university in the late 80s, the
retention of the more serious newsgroups (sci.math for
example), was measured in years. There's nothing in the
protocols that precludes the retention to be unlimited.
If you're flinging a message into the medium, you're
implicitly giving all servers permission to so archive,
IMHO.

Rod Pemberton replied (long),

Thanks for your deep insight on the matter Rod.

I'll think about how to hide sensible posts with my very own method and
mail the decoder parts disguised as pictures or else apart from it.

I couldn't find a male counterpart for this term in my dictionary...
it should translate to HEXER(ger), but I'm not a 'wizard' anyway.
