Looks to me like you need to reread what I wrote. What makes you think I
ever compact without first deleting something?
Re-reading ..."I compact more often than I empty trash" .... and ...
"deleting attached binaries I compact the folder they showed up in

times, wasting your time by compacting *before* deleting!!
Re-read it again. The process described is this:
1-"delete" attached binary from message (pretend binary no longer exists;
consume more disk space)
2-compact folder containing message that contained binary (eradicate binary
from message and "folder", thus reclaiming the space the binary consumed)
3-"delete" message (pretend compacted message no longer exists; consume more
disk space)
4-empty trash (pretend messages "moved" to trash no longer exist; consume
more disk space)
5-compact all folders (eradicate "deleted" messages, regaining space on disk)
O.K., if you just re-boot/re-cycle, I'll give you 23.95/7, maybe, but
not 24/7
Do people who work an "8" hour day _work_ exactly 8.0 hours? I don't know of
any. Between loo, coffee and other breaks, the vast majority don't even come
close.
I didn't write 24.0/7.0. I wrote 24/7. If the restart/backup cycle took 1740
seconds, uptime in days would be 23.517/7.000, which rounds to 24/7. My SM
restart/backup cycle takes less than 120 seconds, so uptime per day averages
>23.967 hours.
And with a name like "Felix Miata", I was taking you as Spanish/Mexican,
Felix is derived from Latin, and commonly used by Germans, Austrians and
those with such ancestry. Miata means reward in Old High German, something
else in Japanese.
i.e. English not your first language, but then one of the other
contributors here-abouts is "Jay Garcia" and I know he is U.S. of A.'ian
(New Orleans), so, maybe, I should not be so quick to "ASSUME"!!
The bulk of population in EST/EDT -0500/-0400 time zone is in eastern North
America, which is probably reason enough not to guess Spanish or Mexican.
One can tell nothing purely from an American surname. Nothing requires a USA
mother to give her surname to her child. Name changes are also legal, and
were common when Europeans were arriving via ship on Ellis Island. Slave
owners gave their own names like Wilson, Brown, Smith, Washington, Jefferson
and many more to their slaves. IOW, the USA is Heinz 57+ territory WRT both
names and blood.
