With things shifting around the internet the past year, and also just…Having been on the internet for awhile now, I feel like this saying, while decent as a cautionary measure…May not really hold up past that. Am I being a little naive though?

Is some decade(s) old post of mine from some old forum really still floating around somewhere out there on some random old server chugging along?

I feel like even in the corporate web, a bunch of that old data’s probably been long lost courtesy of costcutting measures and businesses going under.

    The things on the Internet are forever… except for that one thing you saw years ago that you can’t find anymore. Everyone has their Internet white whales (or Holy Grails).
