27 Feb 1997   Until recently, this link would have landed you on an article at MSNBC's Web site. But a couple of weeks ago, the folks at MSNBC "archived" this article along with hundreds of other "old" stuff.   I don't know if they're having a space crunch there (hey, Bill, spare a few bucks to buy some hard drives at Fry's), but removing stuff from a news site is totally against the point of the Internet.   The great thing about the Net is that you can keep the stuff around forever at no cost. People can come back to it again and again.   If the point of having a news site is to attract traffic you can show ads to people, removing content which is attracting traffic is silly, especially if it doesn't cost you anything to keep it around once you already paid to create it.   Ah, traditional media meets the Internet...the learning curve continues.   Sky   Back
