Yes, that's fine, nobody disagrees, but not everyone is courteous
enough or thorough enough to credit the poster. Why is that a big
deal?

People still post recipes and still chat and still have fun. Some
still mostly have fun by annoying others. And I remember skipping over
all the terrible Ebonian jokes. What seems odd to me is that you would
feel so hurt about not getting credit years later that you would now
decide to try to shorten the life of your postings. But suit yourself.
As I mentioned, besides using the no-archive function, you can also
remove individual past postings. In both cases, of course, your
deletion does not affect someone else's post where they quoted yours.
