Maybe it can be seen as a slight level of disrespect for the web to let
a well known and popular domain just die;

OTOH it was his domain, paid for with his own money; he has the right to
do whatever he likes with it.

In the bigger picture; this is just another case that shows that the web
is not a reliable area for information storage. The web is "dynamic" to
say the least; Jerry and I had a discussion about this several years
back when he introduced his first version of an interactive "wicki" on
his site.

We ended up in a yet unsolved disagreement; where resulting history
seems to give me the edge when I said that Usenet is a better forum for
FAQ postings as compared to web based FAQ lists.

Usenet is still continuously archived by big enough organizations, which
makes it solidly different from the www.
