I didn't think you were criticizing me at all. I was just saying that I think Autosave is a good thing even when you *do* have what you call "good habits" precisely because the backup systems we rely on to save ourselves from problems often fail together. While I Ctrl-S all the time, I'm glad that the Autosave file is there in the event that I might sometime need it. -- David W.
