Wanted to add that I am flexible on this if someone can provide a compelling argument as to why it is a bad idea.

A week ago after Creexul bugged me I went and dug up the 2 AOL tins I kept the backups on. You have to understand, I guess, that like most geeks I have a refrigerator box literally FILLED with garbage - some 31 power cables, literally 43 Ethernet cables, 11 spare PCI nics (actual counts last I checked), etc. When I went looking, the tin with the first year's backups was on top of the pile - not a good sign. The tin with the backups dating back to January 25th, 2003, was under one of the cardboard sideflaps on the bottom of the box.

Guess which one was empty?

Yep. She got to those, too. Just like (THANKS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, RAY, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE) she got to my secondary backups on the netshare I didn't even know she knew about (although, in retrospect, I taught her my complete backup cycle once when I went out of town to my folks for a week, and may have mentioned it then in passing). I even fucking searched through the trashcans in the house for the CD - nothing. Maybe she hid it? Maybe it just got lost (I *really* doubt that - I don't remember leaving the tin with the year's backups on top of the pile of crap)? We're moving again so I suppose if it's going to turn up it will turn up in the next two weeks or not at all.

Everything I was counting on for sneaking out a copy of the backups - both netshare, CD - was removed. ICJ, if you want the backup from January 25th 2003, roughly the first month and half of posts, fire me an email at senor-barborito@zombieworld.com or shout at me on AIM. I won't be reading any followups to this since I'm only here because ICJ (and Ray's earlier) posts were pointed out to me, and I felt the subject could do with some addressing.

I have to say, by the way, I really love the attempts to blame me for something I had nothing to do with - and despite the fact that I did my best to go to bat for you people. From where I'm standing it looks like the whole of Caltrops has supplanted me as The Victim Incarnate. Fuck all of you, honestly. I did what I could - stop letting the fact that you don't like me and that OUR posts got taken away for what feels like no reason blind you to that.
