so what you're saying is that you didn't use the tools provided, or pay attention to the backup you were trying to use?
no, i was saying that iTunes shouldn't be removing files from my iPod without any iWarning based on an iFaulty assumption, but perhaps i should have taken more time to make that iClear.
this doesn't sound like software hate to me, this sounds like self-love.
tragically, hate is in the eye of the beholder. cheers, --s.
