That's what I mean. Replace one site with another, and you can expect exactly that. Craig, you're a great guy, your site rocks, but when you die or lose interest, it's all -whiff- gone into the ether. Usenet and google archives are, for all practical purposes, forever. While a site is great for discussion and Q&A, so is Usenet. And the fact is, Usenet is more constant than any website can possibly be, just by nature of the beast. As Linus Torvalds has said (paraphrasing here) - Don't back up your data, upload it to Usenet and it gets archived everywhere.
