Ok, since you started this topic, here it goes. :)  I'm attaching 
bender's life insurance as well -- in case I ever come back begging for 
this file, *please*,anyone, provide it to me...

Until then, I just hope that nothing crashes that bad.

Seriously though, I think that this mechanism (=mailing lists) is indeed 
an extremely reliable backup method for smaller chunks of information, 
as long as the mailing list is functioning. There's almost nothing that 
could cause a total data loss.

Yep... Use some kind of steganography, then encode it in a video with 
some naked girls, and name it "Katy Perry Hot Uncensored.avi". It will 
last for decades, even if it's fake.
