Thanks, that was nice!  Actually, posting to a mailing list without being 
subscribed to it is explicitly covered by the Debian Mailing List Code of 
Conduct [1].  Relevant quote: "If you send messages to lists to which you are 
not subscribed, always note that fact in the body of your message.".

[1] http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct

Lack of time is actually the reason, not bandwidth costs.  Back in my student 
years, I had a enough free time and not much money.  Fast-forward a few years, 
it's the other way around.  I meant no offense to anyone, but when I'm coming 
late and tired after job I'm not going to spend the few free hours reading or 
answering tens of e-mails (some people I care about would have a big problem 
with that, and honestly, me too).  And please everyone, let's leave it at that: 
I'm interested in competent technical advice about the backup problem, not 
off-topic discussions about the "immorality" of unsubscribed posters.
