I sometimes dream of two different modes of posting, a permanent mode and a can-disappear-later mode. Posts posted in the last mode would automatically disappear after lets say four weeks and not fill this site and make it so difficult to use and search.

Imagine a request for lyrics or tunes or background information would after some weeks only contain the relevant information (Malcolm is one of the champions for that) and not my post saying "I might have it at home, look here next Monday" and not Catspaw telling what he associates when he reads the word Willie and not greetings of the type 'see you next weekend'. There'd only be one single Tavern thread (for all the old posts would be gone after 4 weeks) and only one Bush thread (there are nearly never new arguments in these threads anyway if you want to call some of the posts arguments). And you could even refresh one of the old notorious threads like 'From Pills to Purge Melancholy' for they'd only contain about four posts'. And all those yearly repeating birthday threads would be gone after four weeks...Ah, that's a dream...
