until senior managers take an attitude of "there but for the grace of
god go I" regarding over-exuberant Usenet postings, there is a risk.
And despite Usenet being more widespread since the eternal september,
I don't think many senior managers have reached that yet.

Speaking as a senior manager, I'm pretty sure there are postings I made on
Usenet in the 1980s I'd probably regret now, and being well aware of the
perils of social media would absolutely not be holding someone's youthful
indiscretions against them provided they're not of a nature that brings
into doubt their trustworthiness.

I suspect I am not unique and senior managers - in tech firms in particular
- are rather more forward thinking than you imagine.

A lot of senior managers I know still get someone to print out their
emails so they can read them. Beware viewing the world from inside a
tech-bubble.
