@westernworld – Part of the point of my comment was this: Have you done anything to educate the “stupid or naive” other than to tell them “backup, backup, backup.” Telling someone to backup and actually empowering them by teaching them how are two entirely separate things.

aol are a bunch of jerks to be sure, but if people don’t backup anything they’re loath to lose locally they got to learn that lesson.

it’s the same self people that never listen, insist on their cornfed ways and then wine when the shit hits the fan.

the web is not for the stupid or the naive, nor those unwiling to learn and keep up-to-date.
