you to take my family site out of it, you really would refuse? I find that surprising. Even the big internet archive won't archive things that they are asked not to (via robots.txt).
Because there's a big difference between not archiving something entirely ("I will not archive Michelle's website") and modifying the archive ("I will search and replace all text in which Michelle said this."). One is a blanket all or nothing. Another is a modification of a whole -- if one is willing to do that, the entire integrity of the archive comes into question in regards to what was changed but was NOT disclosed to the viewer. Likewise, hiding specific web pages (a single part of a whole) is an entirely different matter - that causes very little break in flow or conversation (unless, of course, you choose to hide say, chapter 7 of a 30 chapter book). The equivalent "hiding" in an IRC log ("hide all my text") is entirely disruptive.
Which is all my fault.
I don't know about that. Seems like there were a lot of people jumping
