These are wonderful recommendations - thank you for your kindness!  I 
am asking because I am doing a side-project, and I'm unsure whether it 
is okay with all concerned.

I am using a program call "Site Sucker" to download entire websites so 
that they can be archived onto high-quality CD's and DVD's and stored 
for posterity. MANY valuable sites have been lost for many different 
reasons, but the end-effect is that gathered wisdom, hard work, 
dedication and archival information has been lost.  I want to believe 
that I can help this stuff be around for centuries to come. I will be 
sending these disks off to the folks who are most active with this 
mailing-list (including a current snapshot of the nearly 100,000 files 
taking up 19 gigabytes in the imperialclub.com site).

Yes, these disks have a finite lifetime, but I've switched from 
punch-cards to floppies to Syquests to Zip drives to CD's to DVDs in my 
life, and since the highest-quality disks can now be guaranteed to last 
for at least seventy years, I'm confident that future generations of 
car-crazy nutcases like us will be sharing this groovy stuff with a lot 
of joy.

Anybody have an opinion on this?  I have a feeling that I'm not 
supposed to do this, somehow.
