Hi DanG I'm not a Bot, All my posts are Me by hand, just interested in the Articles, and in sharing to ascertain other opinions.

The reason I posted the four archive mirrors, is because readers were complaining that either the .is or .ph links were not working,

and we were ending up with two or more posts with links anyway, so my solution was a one liner.

I am reminded, as per the guidelines that pay-walled Articles must have a work around to be posted on HN:

I will cease and desist posting, as per your request.

Note! Several formatting edits

It's ok! I believe you, and you don't have to stop! It would be good to maybe adjust the proportion of the archive comments relative to your posts about other things, but don't worry about it.

I appreciate the reply and am sorry for suggesting the bot thing.

Just post the archive.today version, I don't have a citation right now, but I think the owner said (in blog?) that is the way to properly link, it should redirect to the best domain based on user's IP/location.
