The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

I’m on my own domain, and the rest of the family isn’t exactly into blogging, so I don’t believe this place will survive me. I do have an ability to move it to a somewhat-more-permanent place (actually, a pair of them); however, that runs into the same issue that you pointed out earlier, and it also presupposes that I would have time to copy my posts there.

Now, the question is do I try to burn out my printer making a hard copy of things here, which would be the most-likely way to archive a place like this? I do have something north of 1,500 posts, and several pages worth of polls. I also have a medium-capacity business-class black-and-white laser printer (the toner is supposedly good for 4,000 pages, and I do get 21 pages a minute out of this thing).

Then again, that’s too much navel-gazing for me.

They are going to be looking at them for context and insight on the age we are living in. They’ll be used in ways similar to how a historian today might use a journal or letters from 100 or 200 years ago.

A lie, I tell you! They’ll love me! They MUST love me! I am a wrestling god! *Hard slap* Where am I?
