My first reaction is... so? What's the big deal? Anytime we're dealing with the loss of human life, material possessions just don't matter. People lose valuable negatives all the time when they're in shoe boxes and their basement floods. It's pretty similar. Don't put all your eggs in one metaphorical basket. If you have thousands of irreplaceable negatives, maybe the responsible thing would be to make dupes and store them at multiple off site locations. The same guidelines that apply to data protection and disaster recovery apply here, too. Eric - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
