Seems more like they're hunting down and destroying copies of the RtL.
Two days ago, you could access most of the cached pages from
archive.org. Silly me, I figured, "okay, worst case scenario they can
be recovered from there." It seems they've since installed a
Robots.txt that archive.org is honoring and no longer serving up the
cached copies. I'm guessing this is incompetence not malice, but ...
remind me not to trust the ALU with a wet paper sack.
