Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world...

I'm not really worried about this forum, but more about other websites. Twice in the last two days I've gone back to look at websites that caught my attention a couple months ago, only to find them gone, their domains expired. One of them I'd already saved to my hard drive for future reference, the other I had not... and while I was able to find that latter site in google's cache, the images had not been preserved and the formatting hadn't been preserved.
I guess the lesson is that when you find a website you'd like to reference later, always save a copy. Any browser can save the html and images, but I prefer using a PDF printer (like PDFCreator) so the content isn't spread across several files... it also has the advantage of letting you save files that a server will only allow you to view, but not download.
Funny how digital data can seem so permanent, yet at the same time so fleeting.
