I didn't really make it clear in my earlier post, Big Jake is one of the truly nice guys in this thing of ours and echoing what Alexis said it is terrible that he lost the pictures of his Mother. That really isn't right. Originally Posted by WaywardWay, there is SO much that isn't right about this entire situation that it's tough to know where to begin. I suppose with the particulars. Because Big Jake is a good guy, I know he will be ok with others learning from this difficult experience.
1. Having the Y PhotoBucket & his personal PhotoBucket resolve to the same email address was a no-no. Never.... EVER co-mingle hobby email accounts with RW email accounts. If you develop enough of a friendship with kindred spirits you encounter with anyone in this thing of ours that you feel the need to move beyond a straight-up hobby account... establish an intermediary-level email account & scratch the itch there.
2. When it comes to media that only live in the 0s & 1s of the digital world.... backup, backup, & backup some more!!! Can NEVER have too many copies.
Jake, I'm looking at you... but I'm talking to myself!!!
Sorry for your loss, 'Hoss! Hope the pics can be recovered via other methods!!
