No specific reason, I just back up my complete HD's.

Regularly. It's like I remember someone send me something about a given
subject. Or discussions that ended a month ago and I want to take up
again for some reason. Or having requested something from someone and
still did not get an answer. Many reasons why I re-read mail.
You and many of the other regs don't have to worry at all about getting
your privacy invaded in whatever way !
Like all of you have explained so many times that with a few certain
ground rules, ones privacy is protected for 99 % !
I guess 100 % is impossible.
