I personally know a few people who dropped Taylor like a hot potato when the site shut down.<BR/><BR/>And-I ask this question every time the subject comes up- why aren't the archives available to us? There's a lot of great information in there that's lost to the world. I'd like to use it as a reference when I write about Taylor.
