Guided by this philosophy, he has made important discoveries on why we see in color, why we see illusions, why we have forward-facing eyes, why letters are shaped as they are, why the brain is organized as it is, why animals have as many limbs and fingers as they do, and why the dictionary is organized as it is."

Amira, sorry to hear about your loss too. \\ To prevent data loss, frequently it's possible to automatically "backup" your posts by subscribing to your own RSS feed in Google Reader; with the added benefit that one gets search features in *their* cloud. \\ You could also check http://www.archive.org to see what they managed to scrap over time.
