Is this an April Fools' joke?

Too much first person.

This isn't some fucking standard; it's Wayback Machine's responsibility to archive websites, not the other way around.

Yes probably should have used my own title. It's just difficult for me to accept a headline so lacking in pith.

Edit: have updated title

Awesome. I am stepping through the page execution and trying to figure out what is embedded in the page that would cause a redirect if the article is deleted. Did you find it?
