I understand the arguments for taking it down, I just think the collective information and research that went into those posts should be available as a resource. Which is why I copied a lot of it.

Thanks Alexis.

I saved a few pages, mostly the more recent ones.

I also believe it is important to remember such an experience.

As they say, a leopord can't change its spots!

Here's a quote I posted from George Santayana in the Savvy Poll thread:
"Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

There's a lot to that, IMHO...
