Just to clarify, I totally agree with you and SpaceDog; who’s recently made it kind of ‘his’ cause. But as recently as last week, Plynck voiced the same concerns that were quite prevalant during the one week window Google search was crawling the archives and providing search hits.
I am totally in favor of moving old threads to a read-only server. I am totally opposed to erasing them or otherwise putting them somewhere that we can’t get to at all. Anyone who doesn’t understand the difference is quite obviously of a species foreign to me.
