You can read about others having problems and losing data with pretty |
44 |
much every bit of software ever coded. *Lots* of people are not particularly |
45 |
competent and write horroe stories or bad reviews without bothering to |
46 |
mention the errors they made which actually caused the problem. |
47 |
I see evidence of that on this very list daily. So IMO your method is |
48 |
a bit suspect. :) |
