Do You Want Groklaw to Be Included in the Library of Congress's Historic Internet Materials Collect

Groklaw has been selected by the Library of Congress for inclusion in its web archival project, in the category of Legal Blawgs. I feel incredibly honored and validated by this invitation. We have created a collection of materials that has recognized value to researchers and historians.
We have to give permission, though, and Groklaw isn't just me. It's you and me, so I thought I'd ask you how you feel about it. We have several choices. I can have them archive just the articles, or, if you grant permission, the articles with your comments. And we can decide who can access the collection, the public at large or just the Congress and on-site researchers and historians.
You can say no to everything related to your comments, absolutely, but this is offering to make us part of what researchers and historians will have access to, so they can tell the history of this time period with accuracy. And my personal feeling is that your comments are part of this history.

MGF2META(1) General Commands Manual MGF2META(1) NAME
mgf2meta - convert Materials and Geometry Format file to Metafile graphics SYNOPSIS
mgf2meta [ -t threshold ] {x|y|z} xmin xmax ymin ymax zmin zmax [ input .. ] DESCRIPTION
Mgf2meta converts one or more Materials and Geometry Format (MGF) files to a 2-D orthographic projection along the selected axis in the metafile(1) graphics format. All geometry is clipped to the specified bounding box, and the resulting orientation is as follows: Projection Orientation ========== =========== x Y-axis right, Z-axis up y Z-axis right, X-axis up z X-axis right, Y-axis up If multiple input files are given, the first file prints in black, the second prints in red, the third in green and the fourth in blue. If more than four input files are given, they cycle through the colors again in three other line types: dashed, dotted and dot-dashed. The -t option may be used to randomly throw out line segments that are shorter than the given threshold (given as a fraction of the plot width). Segments are included with a probability equal to the square of the line length over the square of the threshold. This can greatly reduce the number of lines in the drawing (and therefore improve the drawing speed) with only a modest loss in quality. A typical value for this parameter is 0.005. All MGF material information is ignored on the input. EXAMPLE
To project two MGF files along the Z-axis and display them under X11: mgf2meta z 0 10 0 15 0 9 building1.mgf building2.mgf | x11meta -r To convert a RADIANCE scene to a line drawing in RADIANCE picture format: rad2mgf scene.rad | mgf2meta x `getbbox -h scene.rad` | meta2tga | ra_t8 -r > scene.hdr AUTHOR
