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!"
