    The only insensitive person here is the one thinking "old" is insulting.

    I don't think any blind person is actually happy to be called "visually impaired"... because blind, old or fat are not swear words you know ?

    Agreed... I'm blind, old AND hella fat, and I'm not offended.

    Something weird I noticed.

    They only check that the OLD file exists, then delete it, and replace it with the file with 1 lower number.

    The problem exists that if the original file DATAFIL.ZIP does not exist, then DATAFIL.001.zip will be deleted and then replaced with nothing (the copy command will fail.)

    There will then be a cascading effect that with each time the program is run, it will delete one older backup, and replace it with nothing.

    After 70 iterations of the program running, there will be no more data, and no more backups.

    If by "property" you mean this website, I'm not the one who put it up and allows free posting to it's comments thread.

    If you have a problem with people being free about it, take it up with the guy who put the website here for people to use (for free).

    For the record, I think you've lost your mind when you start associating attitudes with handedness so spuriously, however... and I don't mean to brag... my left hand is just as capable as my right.

    What rights am I superseding? You have the right to not read here. Pampadildomous was the right to change the website's posting policy.

    But let me spin the other way: Don't people have the right to have access to information? How else are they going to get it unless I say it? This is the kind of stuff schoolchildren (drool) are missing out on. School boards will add teaching kids about homosexuality to the curriculum, but not pedophilia? Isn't pedophilia more relevant to them at that age?
