Re: command line fan fiction program?

Tony,
I am a firm believer in synchronicity.
What makes your post hug worthy is that I was just wondering about 
archives.org.  Reasoning being that sometimes a writer decides, either by 
accident or intention to delete all their fanfiction.net  work.  I 
recently found an hp  story by such a writer, wondered about their other 
creations, and thought....hmmmm wonder if archives.org has anything?
That was last night,  I check mail this morning to find your post.
So...
*hugs*
Thanks!
Kare
