That's true, but it's inevitable.  Anyone who thinks their behavior on the internet is beyond trace or cataloging at some future date is kidding themselves…  nothing is ever truly deleted.  The original purpose of the internet was to provide redundancy of data in the event of attack and the destruction of an individual data center.  That same functionality ensures that all of your embarrassing college photos posted on Facebook, will reside on a server cache, etc somewhere.  Just waiting for the time some data mining technology is available to sniff it out.

And just to salt this OT post with some AE help.  Here's a fun thing I discovered.

If you use the type tool in AE, convert the type to a shape layer, apply trim paths to the shape, apply as a matte to your original type layer.  You have a pretty passable write on effect done in about 30 seconds of work.  Pretty good if you're on a tight deadline to create something like that.  Works best with handwritten style fonts.
