    I always wondered where the name came from. I always assumed it was a real person, like craigslist.

    That it’s short for Anarchist’s archive makes a lot more sense.

      I always assumed it was a real person,

      The person they have charged in this instance is called “Ana”.

        Could be a double meaning and mean both.

          Oh don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t suggesting your theory was incorrect. It could absolutely be both, or one or neither. It’s just an interesting coincedence.
