If I meet you in the corner café and we talk, my words vanish instantly,
and you may be the only person ever having heard them. If I post with
X-No-Archive, my words are accessible for several months and may be read
by thousands of people and land in dozens of private archives.
Accordingly, I choose my words with greater care if I do that than if I
talk to you in the corner café.

If using No-Archive casts doubts on a person, so does speaking to people
without constantly having a camera running and putting all the
recordings on the Web.
