To be a part of history

I received this email today. At first I thought it was a bit of a joke, but it looks legitimate. I wonder if any of my other blogging friends received it too? What criteria are used to judge whether something is an 'important part of the documentary heritage of Scotland' ? It's scary to think that people in the future might read my 'typings'. It will change historical research, as descendants have access to their forebears lives in a way unthinkable to previous generations. Should I say, 'Yes', or is that a vanity?

So it seems like you are going down in history!
It seems that my random babblings don't quite fit the bill:)
