You would find that quite impossible. I would never be upset over a
simple disagreement. Or a complex one, for that matter. Any forum
without disagreement is useless. That very last thing I ever want
around me is a bunch of "yes" men.
it is just (lets say) some untraditional thinking.
Your point here totally escapes me. I started working with computers
in 1974. Computers, let alone personal computers, were anything but
traditional at that point. "Tradition" is nothing but a synonym for
stagnation, ineffectiveness, and inefficiency. Anyone who thinks
traditionally isn't really thinking.
You must know that this is a public list that stays in the memory of the

It exists in cold storage, not so much in memory. Unless the post is
very memorable, only a figurative handful of people will remember it

Come on. Be honest. How many messages in this or any other forum can
you specifically remember from a year ago? When was the last time you
read a post more than a year old? My servers have a permanent and
non-volatile memory (thank heavens), but I don't, and neither does the
average Debian user.

Personally, I don't walk around with anything - not even a laptop, but
an external enclosure such as the following can easily fit in a
backpack, a large laptop case, or a camera bag.

You keep saying "pack of drives", or "bunch of disks". An external
enclosure is no larger in volume than many laptops, and much, much
smaller than the load of books I carried around in college. The one
above is smaller than a box of tissues and not much bigger than the cell
phone I carried around for nearly ten years.
If I were one to use a laptop - which I most certainly do not - I
wouldn't carry the array around, however. It would sit either at home
or at work (one and the same, for me) and I would access it through the
internet.
