Re: container - browse to file - set location

You're free to specify the "no archive" bit of course, and I obviously agree
with you that real names and email addresses are worth the spam risk. But I
can tell you that no-archive doesn't help a bit with preventing spam;
Microsoft doesn't make a penny off your posts (MSN doesn't even offer
newsgroups anymore); and Google's free newsgroup search is a valuable
service, not duplicated, and surely missed were it gone. If everyone who
answered questions specified no-archive, think of what the result would
be... a database of problems without solutions.

I suppose that your gmail account relates to google? Typical usenet
members won't see such limitations - all their articles are limited by
the hold times of their servers.

I set a 'No-Archive' Header. It's a kind of a national philosophy. Here
in Germany, we prefer on one hand to use real names in discussions.
Experience has shown that people with real names show a much higher
reliability or quality than people that hide behind fake aliases.

On the other hand, I want to keep control myself about articles that I
write. We don't have a so called 'copyright', but a more general concept
that mine is mine, without the need to explain every time that it's
mine. (Urheberrecht).

My decision is: everyone may profit from my comments. Newsserver are
open to everyone. But Google or Microsoft shall not profit forever from
my work.

Finally, on one hand, I want to show: Here's my name, that's me. On the
other
hand it's a minor protection not to be spammed or tracked down to any
other comment that I have written dozens of years before.

You get my point?
Martin
