Deleting HA Accounts

[Nicole Dupre]

Thanks for the advice. I just don't want to have any unread mail here, which people IRL are still occasionally wasting their time on writing and sending me. Beyond that, there was no reason to log back in.

But I'll try your advice. I had already deleted everyone from the list so that should work well. Thanks again.

Awesome, BreeTexas. I found it and tried your advice. And I think you're right. That should work.

I wonder if oblivion exists in the Internet era?

Despite all the hype about everything you type being out there forever, I think it does. For example, try to find something you posted to facebook in 2007. Yeah, it's out there, but trying to find it is SO difficult that for all intents and purposes, it's not possible.

It's like worrying about someone finding a grain of sand that has since been tossed on the beach.

Obviously, a big fucking waste of time. People are still writing me and I deleted everyone from my friend list about 2 yrs ago. But ok. Thanks anyway.

I think posts will be there to such times as the website closes.

You download your archive and search that with a text browser. (Gear Icon > Account Settings > Download a copy of your Facebook data.) Admittedly the public Facebook interface makes this mysterious.
