I'm somewhat tempted to suggest he open his computer casing to verify that, in
fact, not only Jeffrey is not in there, but neither am I. But I won't do that.

No, it's me ... I guess. As mostly, BackupCentral again gets threading wrong,
so, technically, he's responding to himself.
And it's *not only* his lack of quoting, really. Even in the sum of his
messages, I doubt there is enough information for us to guess what problem
he is actually having. He should probably read

I have no idea where *this* message will land, and I'm disinclined to visit
BackupCentral and check, but your words are quoted, just in case.

If you ever find out the reason, please tell me. I'd hate to switch to VM just
to find out that doesn't solve the issue ;-).

We could create a fake BackupPC users list and move the subscription to that
one (and redirect incoming messages from BackupCentral). That would solve the
problem, and Curtis Preston could keep his belief that he is saving the world.
It's not likely to happen, sadly. Should it come to a vote this time, I'm
against keeping the forum on the list.
