WWW guys:

I just received this from someone about Google archiving being
terminated.  Seems amazing but I checked Google and it seems true.

Yeah, I noticed that last night --- they seem to have shut it off as of
the 16th or so.  We should probably tell people about this on all the
mail lists and encourage complaints.

I can't believe either of those claims.

Where does one complain to, exactly?

Well, I don't know what else we can do, but I have sent them a message
asking them to reconsider their decision. I guess the more people that
do the same, the more chance we have of getting it switched back on.
Perhaps Marc can fire a message at all appropriate groups?

I hope this isn't the start of them winding down the not-so-profittable
bits of Google...

Regards, Dave.
