    I am very disappointed that I did not learn of the Furl transition to Diigo until very late in March, between the 20th and 30th of March. I found out by doing some research here in the Diigo forum that I could download a copy of my cached Furl pages to my computer, therefore allaying my fears. Alas I did not get that opportunity until the 23rd of April, at which point no Furl sites in any FURL domains were accessible, and merely redirected me to Diigo.com. I had from March 25th [approx] to save up enough money and collect debts owed to me, so that I could purchase a hard drive to download my Furl cached pages to my new external hard drive April 23.

    My ONLY reason for EVER using Furl, or I would even consider using Diigo, is to have access to my cached pages, that's why I selected FURL in the first place. Someone took away that option for me without any semblance of fairness, so that a precious irreplacable resource is gone to me forever. Diigo email help info@diigo.whatever (I forgot - ADDish here) chosen response to my questions was to not send me any reply or recognition to both my emails whatsoever, so I can only conclude they don't care. I think that Diigo deleted my cached pages, and they don't wish to give me the unpleasant news, or apologize, or respond to me like I am a human being.

    There are hundreds of bookmarking sites out there, I just want a place to save a captured image of a web page as it existed on the day I saved it. I guess that option is not available to me. If I click on "cached" at one of my "bookmarks" in Diigo, they try to serve me today's version of a URL that I saved between some approximate time in 2007, and some approx time in November or December of 2008. My precious stories and letters posted at these blogs, news sites, and time sensitive civil rights forums are lost thanks to Looksmart and Diigo having no concern to answering emails or allotting a reasonable amount of time whatsoever to download our Furl cached pages. I have endeavoured to use a civil communication style, and all I have received in response is silence over 60+ days. I guess I should show more patience, since we as consumers were afforded so much patience before we were denied access to our precious downloadable Furl archives.
