Google's Massive Index: Helping Me Re-Live the Bygone Years

A little search for my old email address "martinship" came up with this little snippet from a text file dump of a database that Google had indexed for some reason:

"Martin","Burch", "Evansville","IN","USA", "martinship@aol.com","First off, your site is really well
designed... I should know, I've
been browsing travel websites for
about 3 weeks now, looking for
travel info in indiana.

Your site follows this rule:
**Put content on every page**

Another thing, do you have a 800
number?

And could you please send me some
more ""paper"" info on Parke county,
espically Rockville?

I'll now resume browsing your
website...","10 Jun 1999"

Of course, I should point out that email address doesn't work anymore (or if it does I won't get your email because it's not mine). But this is really cool. I have the entire hard disk of the 486 computer I used to post that comment on backed up to a CD, but who knew I could retrieve this comment from some long-forgotten database? Privacy advocates cringe, but historians delight.

Also: I don't live in Indiana anymore, and I was 11 years old when I wrote that comment. Nearly seven years ago. Wow!
