beccaelizabetham reading some of my old notes posted to LJ and the discussions that followed them.
am reading them on dreamwidth because on LJ the deletion of accounts has absolutely gutted the discussions.
am very glad I have the copies. reconstructing them from email is theoretically possible but given the way LJ titles all its emails... yowch.
have also been running into walls whenever someone links to del. including collections that were at del. of things that look like they would have been useful.
I kind of miss paper books, because even if you find one with the pages fallen out the chances are still good of finding another copy with pages, but paper books wouldn't have had these discussions in the first place. So I'm just sad about ephemerality.
