   I've been on the Internet long enough to know that anything that I post in public will likely be archived. That's part of the reason I am rather selective about what I post online. Most things I don't care about but certain things I take very seriously because I know they can come back to bite me. I remember a newsgroup post that I responded with "blow me" a while back that was reported to the place that I worked at. It wasn't my proudest moment for sure.

     That said there are a lot of folks that are still getting their bearings on their place in this world and what should be private or public. They haven't had experience about what should be posted in public and what should be best left off of public forums. They haven't had the experiences or the knowledge / fear that what they post could come back to them with unintended consequences. Archiving posts without consent means those mistakes are now permanent.

     It's hard enough growing up under society's microscope without adding additional eyes to this mix. I'm blessed that I came of age before the Internet became so prevalent (and mass storage so plentiful). Perhaps we can extend the same courtesy to others.
