How do you do that Dave?

Set your newsreader to automatically mark every sent post
"x-no-archive". Gardenbanter won't display them.

ITYM "X-No-Archive: yes"

I thought as much - seems Dave forgot to change it "just this once"

Gardenbanter won't display them.

It doesn't quite do what people expect it to though. There is nothing
laid down re. dealing with quoting of an article with the X-No-Archive:
yes header. Consequently, there are many such articles on Gardenbanter
(and all of the other Usenet archives that may not honour that header)

And also ensuring that GB readers have even less chance to see what
we offer here.

Gardenbanter used not to honour it. Then they changed policy and did
.. I haven't looked recently to see whether they still do. They don't
display any original post-headers at all so one could only tell if one
had seen the headers elsewhere.

Google's archive also had a change of policy when it wanted people to
use google-groups to read and post to usenet. Before, when it was mainly
just an archive, posts marked x-no-archive-yes never appeared there.
Currently, they appear for 7 days then expire.

It's possible gardenbanter has now adopted a similar policy, but I
haven't bothered checking.
