Is it possible to automatically remove posts older than....?

Hi and thank you for such a great product.

I am running version 0.9.7 on an Ubuntu server to which I have full access. I was wondering if there is a way to automatically schedule removal of all posts older than a certain pre-determined age. I looked for a suitable plugin but there doesn't seem to be one. My other thought was to schedule removal directly from the SQL table but I can't find exactly which entries need to be deleted to remove a post.

Thanks in advance for your help.

    @RikT There's no easy way to do that right now. Although it does sound like a good idea, I've filed a feature request here, you can comment on it if you have anything to add. http://status.net/open-source/issues/3154
    To remove notices from the actual database, you would need to remove it from the notice table, and I think a reference to it from the user table, but I'm not 100% sure if you're going to experiment with that I highly recommend having a backup of your database.
