What you're asking for is impossible. My Posts is a search specifically for any threads that you have a post in. In other words, you're searching for those posts.

Well, it's a subset of WHAT'S NEW.
How long does it take for one of my posts to no longer qualify as "NEW" ?

Under General Settings:
Since "New Posts" already exists on the menu, and "Today Posts" already exists in the "What's New" menu, I don't think this option does anything, does it? Maybe it causes "New Posts" to only show Today Posts ?

"New Posts" shows posts that you haven't yet read. These can go back quite some time (limited by the forum's max limit).
Today's posts shows unread posts from Today only.
My Posts shows only threads that you have posted in.
There is no way for you to remove items from this as it uses a standard sql query to find posts based on your username. This is a feature that people use all the time and not something that I've ever seen anyone ask to have removed in the years I've run various forums, 2 with 30,000 plus active members.

Everybody has different browsing styles and will prefer different methods of keeping up with the forum, so to each their own. Personally, I don't use the "What's New?" menu at all. If I want to stay on top of a thread or forum I subscribe to it so I can easily see if there are unread posts and access those threads/forums quickly from my control panel

Technically you are correct that they go back quite some time, but what is important is the top 10 new posts have only just been posted in the last 5 minutes. This is an ACTIVE forum, with potentially millions of smokers who might participate.
Today's posts shows posts from today, not UNREAD posts from today; in a practical sense, it shows almost the same as New Posts.
My posts shows threads you have ever posted in; what you'd want to see is UNREAD POSTs in threads you have posted in.
I currently have 7 pages that show up of threads that I have posted in, but I wouldn't normally notice if there is activity going on in a thread that's on page 7 because I'll never go back that far; I probably just have to figure out how to bump threads up and down that page; I *thought* it shows them in the order that I last posted so I suppose if i wanted to bump a thread up my list I just have to post on the thread; kind of spammy; but its some other order; would be nice to be able to filter some out if i just got tired of a thread, like the clone wars thread; or maybe mark some as higher priority or interest or something.
Sometime you want to follow a thread; sometimes you might want to unfollow a thread.

you are correct - the 'my posts' section shows the threads you've posted in order of most recent to oldest. if you post in a thread it will get bumped up but not instantaneously - give the forum a chance to catch up 
usually it takes just a few minutes .......
btw threads you are no longer active in will drop off sooner or later - in my case anything older than the beginning of september is gone now

If there is a thread you want to follow, use the "subscribe" feature.
