I had already made a similar point earlier in this thread: it was me who posted "I always use two backup methods these days because undetected failures are laughably common..." The same logic applies to end-of-life'd cloud services, where most of the time you get a heads-up that such action will be taken in the future. Seizures are pretty rare. -rich _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
