[http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctalk/ Classic computer people] mostly use their real names (maybe because we're old-fashioned :-).

I think Tore might have an automatic backup running, but I'm not sure. The problem with archive.org is that it might save the articles, but I'm not sure about the history.
The big concern along these lines, for me, is that Tore runs the whole thing 'out of his back pocket', as the expression in English goes. So if he is crossing the street and gets run over by a truck, we're SOL at the moment: the DNS entry, hosting, etc are all in his name.
