First of all Don Baldwin (donb@netcom.com), the guy who 
thinks Netcom is supposed to guarantee unlimited backup of 
*HIS* (irreplaceable!) valuable files for eternity, is NOT 
a Bozo. Of curse not, Bozo would never be such a dic head 
and Bozo tries to make people laugh _WITH_ him not at him. 
However, according every instruction in EVERY programming 
manual, Don does qualify for an emergency lobotomy.

What kind of 'professional' would use their shell account 
as a location for valuable storage of data for TWELVE 
YEARS!!!???? Don then says it was irreplaceable! I'm sure 
if the programs/data there reflect his 'professional' 
approach to data storage and maintenance then the files 
were total garbage deserving of being trashed. Don's 
trying to redeem his stupidity latter on by saying that he 
"just happened to store some files ... during a job 
transition (etc.) and was about to move them" is as lame 
as his first claim.

What kind of temporary job transition takes 12 f*&^ing 
years? Which is it? Can Don make up his mind? If Don 
thinks he's a MIS/DP professional he badly needs a career 
change. If this is just a hobby for Don he should consider 
something else.

The only thing I find really disgusting about Netcom's 
actions is that they were pussy-whipped into restoring 
files possibly related to Don's post. What a bunch of 
wimps! So now all the rest of Netcom's customers helped 
pay to save Don's sorry ass for not taken care of the 
storage of his irreplaceable crap. You are very welcome 
Don Dic Head Baldwin!

BTW I think Buddy Bear, unlike me, was trying to be nice, 
something some of you wouldn't know about.

P.S. Oh yeah, just in case Danny Taylor (danny@qnet.com) 
*tries* to use his brain again, Ton is not a 'handle'.
