In fact, it's more than a waste of time. it's an outright lie.
X-No-Archive does not make your posts 'go away', nor does google delete pos=
ts with X-No-Archive in them. They are ONLY removed from searches and *goo=
gle's* view of usenet, the posts themseves are still indexed in the databas=
e.
Google's new profile feature shows this to be true.
Read here and learn the truth, X-No-Archive is worthless, just use a remail=
er / mail2news gateway combination and forget about X-No-Archive.
While you're at it, forget about google having anybody's interests in mind =
except google's.
