Something that I wonder about sometimes. Like analogue Heaven's posts are archived, and available online going back to march 1995, and I think some earlier posts are archived at hyperreal, And I know the archived usenet posts at google groups go back a long time, but how long is all this stuff going to be around for I wonder? I kind of like the idea of people long after we're all dead reading this stuff and going 'who the fuck were all these weirdoes???" But, I suppose it's unlikely.

archive.org doesn't have copies of all ILX threads, does it?

the things ive said on here might well exclude me from most forms of public office. so its probably a good thing that they are archvied and preserved.
