Message and poster dealt with.

I don't normally post my personal opinions about products, but for some
reason right now I feel inspired.

I don't get the whole Riverbed thing.  I don't see any advantages in the
backup arena over using a more standard dedupe appliance or dedupe
backup software, and I see a few disadvantages.

Riverbed, if you're listening, you haven't made a friend today by using
my website to post SPAM, but I am willing to listen if you want to
convince me otherwise.
