Everyone is entitled to their opinion, including me. However, continued belittling of Bacula, Bacula developers, Bacula users, the Bacula disenchanted, or anyone else serves no purpose except to give this mail list a bad reputation. (eewwwwwwwwww!!!!) If you feel the need to vent, sign up for the PostFix or qmail lists, there is always someone willing to exchange insults there.
