And what about removing privacy breaches like GGs outing of another poster's previous ID? There are VERY serious reasons for some to change names.
Also some posters have posted so much information about location, employment, dates of relatives deaths, births of children,buying houses, marriage, graduations, parents employment, birthdays etc that someone could easily find them by cross referencing public records. I think that's REALLY scary.
I believe everyone should have the right to have posts deleted. I urge people in the meantime to change posting names frequently, change details of personal description, don't post location or birthdates or exact ages or photographs. I'm sure I sound paranoid but I think it's an important safety issue. Especially on a board like this where the administrator refuses to remove posts and they are accessible and indexed for years.
