    I don't meant to extend this, but I resent being misquoted. I never called
    anyone "dopes", and I hope everyone knows that.

    As to the distinction between text and work disappearing and between the
    Web and computer storage -- have none of you ever used a search engine and
    then gotten a 404 message ? I find it happens more and more frequently, and
    not just to ephemera like blogs.

    I'm a bit surprised at the emotional intensity of some of the notes I have
    received off-line about this: has the Net become the new Church ?
