I doubt very much if they archive the contents of a database of a 
commercial catalog, do they? There are reasons to use a database that 
has nothing to do with archiving. The value depends on the ephemeral 
nature as Paul said. Not all information is valuable, let alone 
equal. There should be an ability to avoid archiving as well as 
indexing since the person who stored it for net access should have 
control over who sees it. Or do you think that all information that 
is stored in a net-connected storage should be discoverable for public display?

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
