I can imagine historians 200 years in the future wading through
stacks of paper copy of these archives [someone ran off copies when
computers were on the verge of becoming obsolete], delighted with the
little gems and nuggets they stumble across. "The late Twentieth and
early Twenty-first Century discussions in this particular Virginia
history group put the lie to the widely held perception that there
was little education or learning in that era, and that people in that
culture were barely literate. On the contrary, the scope of
information exchanged is quite impressive, any serious Virginia
historian should examine these archives, but my gosh, were those
people crabby!"
