Any poster can indicate that they do not desire their posts to be
archived by adding the X-No-Archive: yes header to their post. Pretty
silly, since the header is non-standard, and not necessarily obeyed.

Yes, google deletes them after around 30 days or so. There's a note
in google on the post that it is not going to be archived if they set
that header. I believe the practice is pretty much entirely aimed at
google.

Does anybody other than Google maintain a significant archive? Does
Google obey x-no-archive?
