Ah yes, I would certainly agree with your analysis regarding human-made webpages. However, I believe the discussion regarding the particular data which was removed was somewhat slightly misleading and unrelated to the other, since the datastream from an infoprovider is needfully somewhat liquid, since it links to foreign data, which might not be stable. The project of the Internet Archive is to preserve human-made data, and it's been somewhat successful, but has caused its own problems. For example, sometimes people produce data which they would prefer to rescind, such as discussions about other people's business, or messages which should've been stored in confidence, but released accidentally. I'd think that in these cases, replacing the actual information with an abject apology would be the best course of action, wouldn't it?
