Some posters are now choosing to have their posts automatically
removed from the group after so many days.
Am I alone in regretting this?
We appear to be eroding one of the most valuable assests of the group
- its history, and the very real chance of being able to find a
solution by searching instead of by posting.
I wonder if a poster who chooses this mode could explain why they do ?
When the OP's post disappears, then it is really crazy.

This applies to all groups, of course; I post it here as a regular and
grateful reader and an occassional poster.

Maybe it's because of the use of this Newsgroup and all the free knowledge
in it by commercial sites like Gardenbanter. I know that annoys a lot of
people (including me). Yet others don't want their posts archived in Google
for eternity.
