Think about how many hours some teens have spent perfecting that MySpace "layout" and the years of comments etc archived on some pages. How would you feel if you could no longer access that?

It may stay, it may go, it may go viral, be mutated or corrupted. Even "private" information is ultimately out of the creator's control once it's online. A sobering thought, but one that can't be overemphasized to anyone who wants to share information in any way on the Internet.
