Re: Google archiving x-no-archive posts?

geob (AT) hummer (DOT) net:

I looked at Google the other day and found almost all I had posted in
the past 30 days and more. Since when are they archiving posts
containing the x-no-archive bit??

Searching for your mail address in the Google Groups Advanced Search's
author field I find only one article, the one I'm replying to.

They're including XNAY articles since the new GG went beta, but only
for seven days after the article was sent. However, I was under the
impression that XNAY articles cannot be found using their search
feature during those seven days and that they can only be seen from
within the regular thread view. So that part was new to me.

Can you name any message IDs of older XNAY articles of yours which are
still visible on GG?

Just the fact they now show when I posted and to what group even after
the week expires, sucks.

But every regular news server displays XNAY articles from the last
seven days as well.

I am sure they will one day post all of
someone's posts, even despite the x-no-archive request.

I don't understand what makes you so certain. But it has been said
before that XNAY isn't a good way to not be found anymore anyway.

Was it ever? I always knew it as a recommendation.
