I have contacted AltaVista. Outcomes:
(1) They say that they will not generally remove someone from their
archives, as they think that Usenets postings are public,
(2) They do honour the 'x-no-archive= yes' feature, if it is put in the
header, first few lines, or *the last line*. I'm not sure if DejaNews
lets you put the command on the last line - does anyone know? It would
be easy to put into a .signature file.
I also contacted DejaNews. Someone there seemed very helpful. Outcomes:
(1) They will remove ('nuke') someone from their list if you ask them;
(2) The person there noted to me that even if you could be taken off
their list --
*he believed that the US GOVERNMENT had a USENET ARCHIVE far more
comprehensive than DejaNews*
Scarry stuff...
A question if anyone can help. It seems that AltaVista doesn't actually
keep Usenet's indefiniately. I only found the posts I did in the last
few months. Do they only keep recent posts (c/f DejaNews who seems to
keep a permanent archive?)???
