Jonathan,
It's unusual that someone replies-to-all when they meant to reply to one person, so I'm assuming this wasn't only for Noodles.
It was indeed intentionally posted to the list. Whilst I haven't changed my mind, I was trying to make it absolutely clear that I was not picking on Noodles, who afaict has done more behind-the-scenes activity than anyone since I've been a member of ALUG and I'm happy to pass on thanks to him as much as anyone else.
But it's no use crying over spilt data.
Agreed.
The new arrangements with anyone being able to obtain daily backups appear to be more than adequate for the purpose and given Wayne's input, I think there's still some hope the original content may be recovered.
As you say it's futile to whinge about what's lost, all that can be done is look to safeguard future contributions to the website - which from what I've read here, should now have been covered off.
Sincerely, best of luck to any willing to lead the rebuild effort - in whatever form, that website is the doorway for new members who aren't already aware of what this group has to offer.
Peter.
