I think we should ask theymos to implement a feature, where you can select to have all your old posts deleted after an X period of time. Or better yet, after a certain amount of the price rising, e.g. delete all posts that were posted when BTC was worth 100x less then it is now.

why?

this forum is part of bitcoins history. leave it be for historians (or garbage pickers, depending).

I was just kidding, because of the post above me where a member made a deep dive in the old posts of a Legendary member, and used that to infer stuff about how rich this person might be. It was just a way of hinting that that might not be very Gentlemanly.

ah, gotcha

but JJG is the go to guy on that. i think he has spreadsheets on us to keep track.

Hahahahaha

Sometimes I remember past posts.. but still... there is no real ability to assert that some of us might or might not be both gathering information and holding such information in various ways, as you mentioned.

Anyone feeling uncomfortable..

You tend to be decently amorphous vapourminer, and surely inferences can be made from some of your historical posts.. and so surely there is some practicalities in abilities to have some plausible deniabilities.....

I am not sure if what I do is sometimes outside of fairplay.. and surely some members will dredge up old information with more creepiness to the way that they do it than others.. .. so is anyone feeling uncomfortable?.....

Actually, there are some members who delete several of their posts, but then they seem to make very similar mistakes in the future... so who knows about balance.. some of us might end up regretting some of our prior posts and then trying to figure out if we should delete any of them or not... Again, my posts are out there.. and sometimes peeps do bring up some of my posts and then make inferences, but surely it is weird how wrong they can get things, even when stuffs are fairly clearly stated.... so maybe there be some advantages in having a lot of posts, then many of us can see that post at May 2014 contradicts post at December 2018 and the July 2021 post contradicts one made in January 2016.. whether it helps and whether the bots can sort it all out might also be questionable.. did I mean that or not?

Anyone uncomfortable?

Anyone feel like deleting a few more posts from 2015? or 2011? I was not participating in the forum before late February 2014.. so there is that.

By the way, I frequently talk about spreadsheets to keep track of things, and many times I suggest that spreadsheets are very helpful for both planning financial information and also projecting out financial information, so surely there can be both financial and psychological advantages in working through some of these kinds of matters... whether it is cashflow, projections of BTC prices, various financial assets held by a member, various abilities to accumulate BTC and what that might personally mean at various points in regards to other assets or the passage of time.

So, yes.. spreadsheets are good and they can be used for a lot of purposes that are individually helpful... Again, even though I mention things about member posts in the past, I would attribute that to just paying attention and caring.. hahahahaha.. caring.. Sometimes I have also constructed some hypothetical spreadsheets and posted such spreadsheets in order to help certain members (or even the WO thread participants more generally), and if I had ended up making a spreadsheet that was responsive to questions or concerns that any certain member expressed, it might cause me to remember aspects of that member's situation.. even members who may well be disingenuine with some of their representations about themselves, their BTC holdings or their views about BTC.. I could list off some trolls in that regard, but why pinpoint anyone in particular in order to further make some of these points?

Members remember different things too.. so sometimes members will bring up some posting history of another member or they will say x, y or z, and it just might remind some of us about what they might have said previously or even question whether they might have made some fair representations of some other member... so members make representations about me, too.. and some of them are more correct than others, even though it may or may not be healthy to admit or to deny certain aspects.. and just keep it a mystery or even to downplay whether x, y or z point is important or not.
