I agree with the gist of responses to this problem. To draw a simple
analogy: if you write a letter to one individual, or a number of specific,
known individuals, that could be considered a private communication, with
a subsequent right to privacy regarding the content. But write a letter
to, for example a newspaper, and you instantly forfeit any claim to
privacy and considerations of personal property. Do you tell the newspaper
to exclude your letter from the microfiche copy? I think not. 

I would venture that it is up to the individual concerned to demonstrate
that s/he has a right of property over any posts on p3d, otherwise, carry
on, Dan & Bob.
