Evolution in action. Thanks for posting the UWS story about the buried books, I'm quite surprised to see that. Most libraries offer the old books up for sale to students and general public for low price.

From time to time I <a href="http://github.com/jchester/Catallaxy-Recovery-Effort" rel="nofollow">tinker</a> with some truly hairy scripts to transform those archival versions into something that could be restored to the database, but it's a less than pleasant problem.

It seems to be mainly Heath G. That said, the various server crashes have meant large numbers of them have vamoosed entirely. Ah, ephemera, I know thee well...

So far this has not caused any trouble that I am aware of, though it could trip up people seeking to take a swipe at either of us on errors or alleged inconsistencies with current views. I have mixed feelings about alterations - if someone has made an error, better in most cases that it be corrected than worry about a pure historical record. On my blog, I make it clear where there has been a substantial correction.
