This got downvoted, so it's anecdote time!
A former employer once forwarded me a deep-dive article about a guy who was archiving old '90s usenet posts. He explained the process by reference to a sample post, chosen at random, from the whole of the Usenet, '91-'99.
That guy's sample-post? A one-off I'd made, complaining bitterly about JDK licensure or something, from around 1998, when I was a loudmouth teenage Stallmanite.
It now occasionally comes up for discussion during job interviews. It came up when I applied for a work visa to USA.
Stay safe, and don't let your next job interview turn to the topic of [checks notes] resource-efficient weapons of mass destruction.
