it continues to amaze me that anyone would have the expectation of storage space, through time, from a board that was clearly made available [for free] and operated to the best of its ability/resources...no guarantees.

perhaps this is a reminder to all of us that if our histories are that important [to us] that we find a service that guarantees against data loss, and promises to be there in the future, for all time. Good luck with that.

perhaps this is a reminder that our own histories, journals, etc. are our own responsibility, and to protect against "final" data loss, make copies of treatises published on the internet, and store them to our own computers [assuming one has that ability].

it is good to be gadfly, better yet, better to be someone who takes action, and assumes responsibility for their own data...

BT owes no one anything that isn't "promised" in their terms of service. If someone is expecting data that will never be lost or corrupted, 100% uptime, etc., then perhaps it is time to find a service that makes that guarantee and pay for that pleasure...

with all due respect.
