In the event of an emergency or somesuch, it's possible to wipe your own posts/profile. However, *quotes* of your posts that were included in comments from other users cannot be so easily accessed, meaning that the trail remains and liability can be argued if, for example, someone decides to try and take your words as official legal advice etc.
Proof: Me

Which led to some hilarity when getting my old account deleted broke the forums for a year or two. I don't think any of us expected that one.

Okay, why did you self-destruct and why did it apparently almost took down the forum with it? I need context.

They know how dangerous lawyers are.

If youre dead, you dont have to defend yourself in court. Easy peasy.

Wanted to wipe the slate clean, as it were. There was more than a wee bit of stuff from my teenage years on here.

And the forums lived, it was just that for a while any links would send you to the wrong page on the forums.

What is absolute vacuum like on exposed skin? I'm assuming the person's not at risk of having their lungs explode. Let's say their leg's shoved into some machine that evacates all the air up to their thigh. What effects would that have on the leg?

Given the differential's only 1 atmosphere, I can't imagine there's going to be masses of damage. On the other hand, I feel that the body's likely to deal with compression better than expansion.

Hope you like all the fluids coming out of the exposed skin.

1atm is a large pressure: standard air pressure can hold up a column of water roughly 10 meters high.

Once we were playing some variant of yatzhee or something like that and everybody had their own goblet to shake and hide the dice, because that was part of the game. And I put it firmly on my mouth/chin and startet sucking, really hard. I had a really red chin for 2 weeks or so.

And yet, 10m underwater puts you under 2 atmospheres of pressure. People regularly deal with that and more to minimal effect.

Sure but that's compression.  The direction is very significant. As the gaming suction incident above and hickeys demonstrate, it's easy to exsanguinate by reducing external pressure.

At Mount Everest, the atmosphere would hold only 3m of water, and the effects on the exposed body surfaces are negligible. One of the guys who jumped from stratospheric balloons had a malfunctioning pressure suit, and his hand was exposed to ~1% of standard atmospheric pressure. There was swelling, loss of circulation, and pain. That's it. I don't see how getting that 1% lower would cause fluids to leave through the skin.

Yeah, I had a more thorough look and it appears that what happens is the water in the body decompresses, swelling pretty much everything. Nothing leaks (Presumably unless you've got a break in the skin) but you're at risk of mild bruising and, longer term, necrosis due to compromised bloodflow. Theoretically if you were wet you could also freeze due to sudden, massive evaporative cooling thanks to the water near instantly turning to vapour.

So in all, assuming you had some sort of sealed helmet and didn't mind being given the world's worst sunburn, you could survive in space for a while without a suit.

Eh ok, looks like I was exaggerating quite a bit.  I think you would indeed get a lot of tissue damage with exposure to vacuum, not as dramatic as I was thinking.

Or sealed goggles and air mask, if you want to go REALLY minimal? :p
In sci-fi terms, those plus a bodysuit which applies even pressure to your body is probably the most minimal space suit. Only need as much air as you're piping into the mask.
