Just Because You Say Something An Awful Lot Doesn't Mean It's True

Carroll Bryant insists Amanda is GenX because of some supposable comment GenX made on her blog according to Carroll Bryant.


There is only one problem with his statement; it never existed. Just because you might say something a thousand times doesn't mean it's true. I took a look through GenXpose and could not find a single comment that GenXfiles made that was deleted.

When a Blogger blog moderator later deletes a comment from a blog, including their own, that comment still leaves a footprint. It's the original commenters handle (their screen name) followed by a message that states the comment has been deleted.

But what about an article that's been deleted? Everything lives on the internet forever now, especially thanks to Google caching everything. I took a look through Google's cached pages of the GenXpose blog and could not find a single article that has been deleted. Obviously it's not feasible for me to copy and paste a screenshot of that blog here. So I encourage you to look for yourself.

You can read more about how to look through Google's cached pages here although doing a quick Google search will net tons of guides.
