<soapbox> *Everyone* who uses SMP to any degree has a war story. The situations that degenerate into fiasco are generally exacerbated by attempts at recovery. With a good cloning regime, it quickly becomes apparent that tossing the whole environment away and starting again is a viable option. Even after some days/weeks spent on the task.
