Inevitable next step: Enterprising cypherpunk registers censoredfedinfo.org, hunts through google's cache, posts everything there, etc.
Note that there are a relatively small number of Googles on the Net. This is a point that was brought forth pointedly at John Wharton's ee380 seminar at Stanford last spring, during Rhonda Hauben's seminar "Usenet and the Usenet Archives The Challenges of Building a Collaborative Technical Community" http://www.stanford.edu/class/ee380/Abstracts/010523.html Specifically, the Usenet community became used to the Deja News archives, to the extent that many independent archives of specific newsgroups or collections of groups were deactivated, relying instead on Deja. While comprehensive archives are useful, *single* comprehensive archives present a point of failure and control. The Net would be advised to develop multiple Google alternatives. And I say this as quite the fan of Google.... Peace. -- Karsten M. Self <kmself@ix.netcom.com> http://kmself.home.netcom.com/ What part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
