I think this clearly falls into the realm of personal responsibility of the person who put their information out there to begin with. Forum members, moderators, and owners can't be expected to police up messes that are left behind by emotionally distraught people, or even just by people who have a change of heart later.

I'd say that beyond the normal time frame that is allowed for the thread originator to delete the thread, once it is there, it is there. People need to be able to take responsibility for their actions on the Internet just like they do out in the real world.
