I think the pages are permanent but it's difficult be be certain because the ABC search engine is completely useless. (I've never had it provide useful results, though it does produce ancient and irrelevant hits that suggest news stories hang around). >So do you know what the feel of the place towards Wikipedia and free >culture in general is?
