Re: Where have all my recent posts gone?

Yeah, but for the info warrior exercising the global information
environment to influence the epistimology of the population this sort
of thing is a godsend don't you think?

Its sort of like making it illegal to test the efficacy of the systems
designed to protect us against terror because consistent failure of the
system would erode the confident the public has in the measures and
lead to their eventual scrapping of such controls.

Wow! So, all sorts of things can fail randomly and folks just accept it.
The scale of failure varies according to some statistic I suppose.
I can imagine one day people waking up and the entire internet is
totally down never to return.

Well, hey, I mean it's free, so what do you expect... Google Groups is
supported by the advertising, just like network television.

The Internet is distributed, though, so "never to return" is too extreme.
Pieces get lost all the time, but enough people have an interest in
keeping it going that the gross failures eventually get fixed.

Lots of us thought the news archive was gone for good when DejeNews got
eaten by Google, but it turned out it wasn't so. So you see, things
don't always work out for the worst, after all.
