Wrong answering above the messages, but I continue in the fashion others have done in this mail. If you want/need to mention some sort of disaster to make an example you can't actually do it, because it probably has happened, or will happen? By mention a disaster, you always, unfortunately, step on someones toes. But a real example, maybe though bad taste, do point it out, the need for backups/security or whatever. We unfortunately do not live in the best of worlds, as Voltaire wrote, so why pretend we do it? (I though whish we did.) I feel deeply for those who did die in the WTC disaster, but also for all other people around the globe who's life sometimes ends with a disaster in any way. Maybe this will start that flame war? I really hope it will not. My point should be obvious. Whatever you pick as an example, you will all- ways pick the wrong thing. One disaster has though not yet happened. The invasion of aliens. Maybe they should use that as an example? :-) Best regards, Paul "Paul C.
