Dear All,

There have been several commentaries posted already on the 2011 Primates Meeting. Perhaps the most telling is something that was posted and then wasn't posted. Halfway through the meeting, the Anglican Communion Office posted a number of photo op pictures from Dublin. The group photo of the primates is still posted, but several others mysteriously disappeared a day later with no explanation. The blog sites that had picked up and posted these ACO photos of the meeting organizers, the primates of the Americas and the primates of Europe were contacted directly by the ACO and told to remove the photos immediately, which the blog owners did. However, the caveat about being careful what you post on Facebook also applies to the internet in general. The ACO did remove the photos from their own website and had them removed from those blog sites that had also posted them. But once something is launched into cyberspace it may very well become a permanent fixture, which is what has happened to these three photos, captured and preserved forever in Google cache.
