I took it off line since it was Amazon EC2 hosted. Wouldn't you if you 
were in my shoes after what happened?

In my response to you, I specifically said:
You own the domain, so you can do whatever with it.

If I was having a private conversation with you (while assuming it was 
public), I can easily go dig up my archives.

You (and the group that excluded me) decided to take down something that 
you seem to partially understand, clearly. I told you repeatedly that it 
was about URIs for community members first, forget about the UI etc..

It was there for dog-fooding purposes, and I am sure you can google up 
on that re. how it was introduced and offered.
