05:26 πŸ”— Asparagir ^ SketchCow Frogging
05:30 πŸ”— Frogging interesting. perhaps you meant to ping someone else though? I wasn't aware of this before
05:40 πŸ”— Asparagir Maybe? I thought you worked at the Archive?
05:40 πŸ”— Somebody Asparagir: argh, a screenshot of a gmail account?
05:40 πŸ”— Asparagir Sorreeee. I just saw it come across one of the listserves I follow, and snorted with laughter. That woman is too much.
05:41 πŸ”— Frogging Nope, not me
05:41 πŸ”— Asparagir Oh. My bad.
05:42 πŸ”— Somebody eh, with my lack of context, I'd be more charitable -- the more *different* groups working on preserving copies of stuff, the better -- esspecially when they don't like each other.
05:42 πŸ”— * Somebody goes to read the nytimes article now
05:42 πŸ”— Asparagir I’ve seen that attitude crop up amongst librarians and archivists too, on Twitter β€” it’s like, how dare other people save data (or tag data, or add metadata, or whatever Complaint X is today), don’t they know that only Very Serious People can do that work, people like me who get paid?
05:43 πŸ”— Asparagir It’s defensiveness, basically.

05:44 πŸ”— Asparagir I agree! But I laugh too. And roll my eyes.
05:45 πŸ”— * Somebody nods
05:46 πŸ”— Somebody http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/01/nyregion/harvesting-government-history-one-web-page-at-a-time.html?_r=0
05:50 πŸ”— Somebody Hm -- there certainly seems to be a substantive disagreement, though. The article says: "The fragility of digital federal records, reports and research is astounding.No law protects much of it, no automated machine records it for history, and the National Archives and Records Administration announced in 2008 that it would not take on the job." while the email says: "the Federal Records Act is not mentioned. Seems to me that the 2008 NARA guidance c
05:50 πŸ”— Somebody I'd somewhat lean towards the subject matter expert over the journalist, here.
05:50 πŸ”— Somebody (given my lack of knowledge)
05:51 πŸ”— Somebody but it's unclear exactly what said subject matter expect is exactly claiming...
05:51 πŸ”— Somebody which mailing list is that, anyway -- I might want to join it as well, if I can.

05:56 πŸ”— Asparagir https://lists.ufl.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=RECMGMT-L
