Well, the list I was was a mailing list, so it was definitely
   email - sad thing to me is that I believed that the information
   would always remain "out there" somewhere, somehow. Usenet was
   good at saving everything and AOL also kept everything, and I
   knew I could always transfer information from one mailbox to
   another if I had to. But little things I never considered: that
   the University that was hosting the MINISTRY list (I didn't go
   there - I just convinced a sys admin to host it there via a few
   emails and they were kind) - might someday remove the archives.
   Never thought AOL would wipe the forums (I think it did that in
   2007)... and never thought I'd lose access to old emailbox boxes
   or that servers would close down services. I don't worry
   significantly about it, but a little piece of me wonders where
   our words will be in 1000 years What will future archeologists
   have to work with from this era? I suppose I'm an archiver at
