    There is a way of setting a time linmit, the post being removed after so many hours, but I do not know the mechanism for that. Haven't had a chance to look into this, if I get time and find anything I'll post it here.

    Cheers

    Quick Google suggests you can block it from being found by a Google search (and they hold the Usenet archives), quote from

    File a DMCA request with Google to have the search removed. It's an automated process here. http://support.google.com/bin/static.py?hl=en&ts=1114905&page=ts.cs
