I didn't, either. It never occurred to me to submit.

I've been frustrated recently with how much is
missing. I save links and text for articles and then
sometimes want to share the link later, but often
the pages are gone and increasingly they're also
gone from archive.org. I'm assuming the original
host asked for them to be removed.

Microsoft are actually one of the worst in terms of
removing pages and breaking links. Some others
(I think The Register is an example) seem to keep
everything they've ever posted live.

I remember discovering Dark Side of the Moon
while very, very high, coming down out of the
Rocky Mountains in Colorado, with someone
who'd been nice enough to pick up my girlfriend
and I hitchhiking. That would have been '76.
I was impressed. But I think the pot was the main
factor in that. It didn't lead to becoming a born
again Christian.

Different strokes for different folks.

Like the story about the guy who fell down a well, and while in
the well "found God", that doesn't make pushing people down a well a
valid form of evangelism. B-)
