Well, HT and I do agree on this point. E-mails and such will eventually supplant real personal handwritten notes and letters to such an extent that future historians may have to resort to being computer sleuths and internet archaeologists to find those little gems of info. Imagine if Abe Lincoln didn’t have that envelope to write the Gettysburg Address, but instead was composing it on his Blackberry?..............

Some things are not a matter of public record. The dead guy may be willing to share his missives with the world but people haven’t kept a personal copy of letters they SENT since the days of the rolltop desk. And the letter’s author never intended every little thing to be publicly archived.

At least with email, both sides of the conversation may exist in the author’s mailbox.

Of course in the era of the FIRST worldwideweb presidency (internet started in the late 1960s, WWW in the 1990s), Clinton claimed that all emails had been “deleted” in an effort to thwart investigators (my dog ate it).

She is such an old crone, she was probably there to report it as it happened.

I will be glad when that old bat is a thing of the past.

Notice that the only Republican first lady, Mamie Eisenhower, is portrayed as a do-nothing enabler of state- imposed murder.

All the RAT wives are sympathetic, bold, warm, etc. Qualities HT lacks.

Aw.. when she was younger she thought the invention of the printing press was a threat to writing.
