</span> There used to be ads on the Linux Journal for something called Buttsaver from Lone Tar software. that recovered deleted UNIX/Linux files. The ads contained some nasty comments about voice mail, and a suggestion that you "call the cowboy". My search for "buttsaver+cowboy" brought up a Stormfront website, among other thing. A search for "buttsaver+lone+tar" brought up something about a women whose job title is "Chief fluffy Butt Saver", plus some very old websites.<br>
