I run all my PR email announcements off a Hotmail account, keep the addys there too, as well as a text backup of the addys on the HD. For one essential mail list, someone offsite also keeps a text copy AND has the email password to send things when I can't for any reason. PR is more important that data, IMO.

But sometimes.... you just have to take the slacktime generated by a disaster, sit in the ditch laughing like a loon, and see what new path you may be aimed for when the dust clears.

And that can be a VERY good thing.

If all else fails, toss the live HD in the bathtub when fartyboy is in there having a nice long soak. It will resolve just about everything, and you can count on us to send you any chocolate we don't consume ourselves.
