Making USENET Difficult

Did you know that when you are posting to USENET, you can set an expiry time for your post? I'm not exactly clear on why someone would want to do this, but it makes old USENET threads on Google Groups almost unreadable in some cases, for missing bits.

On a related note, web forums need this feature, to make them less pleasant to use.
