I still use "X-No-Archive: yes " in my posts and it doesn't mean that
other people won't see my post, because it will still be sent to Usenet
and available to other ISP's and Google etc. I think even Google will
display the post for a relatively short period, but it means that my
posts shouldn't be saved in most archives indefinitely. 

See the following:
http://groups.google.com/googlegroups/posting_faq.html#prevent

"6. Can I prevent my message from becoming a permanent part of Google
Groups?

By default, any message you post will be accessible to anyone looking at
the newsgroup in which you posted it. However, you can always choose to
reply directly to a post by email instead of posting a reply within a
newsgroup. With email, only the author will see your message. You can
also type "X-No-archive: yes" in the first line of your message.
Messages containing this command are sent to Usenet and are available to
other newsreaders, but will not be saved in most Usenet archives,
including Google Groups."
