I came across a great Chrome extension the other day - Archive page.

When you click on a link and it is subscriber only you just click on the
extension and it takes you to an archived version of the page that you
can see for free. Doesn't always work for very new pages and/or is a bit
slow sometimes, but great most of the time.

Hmm.
I was about to say that sounds much like the "Cached" version of a web
page that Google would offer you if you clicked on the "three dots" menu
next to the URL.
But, now I see it doesn't do that anymore.

I have a link to the Way Back Machine on my toolbar, so I usually just use
that.

The wisdom of age usually explains why you knew nothing about anything
before.

Yes but. I think it's teenagers who know everything.

original.)

To (half) answer Vicky's question: the Wayback Machine goes back a
surprisingly long way, but varies from website to website. Worth a try
though.

Society has the right to punish wrongdoing; it doesn't have the right to make
punishment a form of entertainment. This is where things have gone wrong:
humiliating other people has become both a blood sport and a narcotic.

Mark Twain, I think. But you didn't hear it directly.

I recall the story being used by the speaker at one of our school
Speech Days. The chairman of the governors, a local councillor,
felt it necessary to caution us not to take it too literally.
Even 60 years later, I have not increased my evaluation of his
intelligence.
