BBS archives
Call it healthy paranoia: A google search on my nickname turns up almost 800 results. Archives are common for message boards, and I'd like to know why -- Why keep more than a few days worth of messages? Suppose a few years down the road our country turns into a police state, and I'm investigated, McCarthy-style or worse, for opinions I posted on Habitable Zone and elsewhere? Suppose I visit another country, present day, and the same thing happens?
