Lycos screws up...

Link to story at The Register

Lycos Netherlands has accidentally deleted thousands of active mailboxes during a clean-up operation. The internet portal wanted to close most of its inactive mail accounts, but included many active ones as well. Since no back-ups were made, it is impossible to recover any lost mail messages, the company says.

Normally this isn't exactly newsworthy, but NO BACKUPS?? What kind of company is this??

No kidding, that doesn't exactly help garner trust from customers and investors.

I completely forgot about Lycos. Used to play Tank Hunter at Lycos games.
