This article is pretty paranoid, about the site being taken down. I don’t think that is going to happen. Even if there were an outage, the internet is a slippery, global thing that is not easily quashed — even all-controlling commie China still cannot manage to block everything from the web. In the worst case scenario, JimRob could probably find an ISP willing to host FR, and I would hope that he is backing up the site — backups are just good practice.

However, EVERYONE would be well advised that anything written or shared on the internet, INCLUDING private email (unless you use PGP or other encryption system), should be presumed to be possibly made public at any time. So, be aware. Do not share in email anything you would not be comfortable sharing with the entire world. A former co-worker of mine recently found out about this the hard way when an email she thought was sent to a private mailing list was published in a widely-read blog.

Be careful out there.

Excellent and timely advice.

The naysayers here do not understand that the ‘Fairness Doctrine’ has an internet component as well. The Leftist / Marxist in the government would like nothing better than to quash all opposition.

Warning: Adult topic, not suitable for work, if one is going to look it up.

Reminds me of the Claire Swire debacle.
