in thread Hard-reaped nodes?

Old database dumps exist, off line. If it was really necessary to get the content of an old deleted node, the gods could probably hook you up; but my guess is that it would require circumstances nearly as extreme as those under which the node was originally deleted. :-)

I fear that plain old curiosity wouldn't count as one such circumstance.

Instead, monks are advised to get used to the holes in the nodebase, as just another characteristic quirk of the Monastery.

I personally believe that this is the first time I encounter one. I'd be curious as to know how many are actually there...

      ++: legitimate question!

      I personally believe I should explain: of course I do not mean this as spam. It all tracks back to an IM conversation I had with a friend after having stumbled by pure chance on the infamous video again after having already seen it some months ago; we had some laughs at the embarassing answer, and the relevant portion of our talk is:

      Perhaps I shouldn't link directly to the clip but to a blog entry somewhere else in which I explain all this...

      Update: done that.
