Y'know how it feels when an old neighborhood changes, and you can't find the places you used to love and enjoy and use? Well, http://www.coachville.com has made a lot of changes since its founder Thomas Leonard died, and some folks are wandering around the pages asking "Wha' happen!!?" and other expletives that I shall not reproduce here.
Well, them that owns it gets to change it. But there may be some hope for retrieval of some of what has gone missing, and it's the Way Back Machine. I kid you not, there is such a thing. It's an internet archival site at http://www.waybackmachine.org where one can search for web pages of the past. So, you can look for missing material, and some if will actually appear. Some won't, and I have no idea why. But, go there and try.
The stuff that doesn't appear on the Wayback Machine simply never got archived. From what I understand, the Wayback Machine has a number of "snapshots" and unfortunately doesn't catch every page of every website when it creates its archieve.
I miss a lot of the stuff that went missing from Coachville too.
