RE: IML: Best/Biggest Websites?

Tony:
What you are doing shows a passion for our cars which goes for beyond
average and, though to some may seem almost obsessive, makes the lives
of everyone involved in the hobby very much richer. 
Please don't look for our approval on something which makes so much
sense. If you had done that when you started on the wonderful project,
now known as the IML/ Online Imperial Club, I'm sure it would never have
happened. 
I wish you the best in your struggle with your health, my Dad had
Alzheimer's although much later in life, and may you continue to enrich
the lives of all of us on the "List" 

Ernie and The Black Bitc_!!

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.
